7. Zero-Day Exploits.
Zero-day exploits are attacks that exploit unknown vulnerabilities in software or hardware. Because developers are unaware of these vulnerabilities, there’s no immediate patch or fix, making zero-day exploits particularly dangerous. Cybercriminals use these exploits to gain unauthorized access, steal data, or cause damage.
Defending against zero-day exploits requires proactive security measures. Stay updated with security patches and monitor industry news for reports of new vulnerabilities. Employing intrusion detection systems and employing endpoint protection software can help mitigate the impact of zero-day attacks.
