Be Jolly, But Watch Out For Zero and N-day Follies!
Season’s greetings! While this is the season for goodwill, it would seem that cybercriminals also have good reason to be jolly. In 2023, cybercriminals continued to feast on vulnerabilities which led to zero-day exploits (attacks exploiting a previously unknown vulnerability before any available remediation) and N-day attacks (a compromise achieved through exploiting a vulnerability, despite a patch being available). This issue of CyberSense reflects on the growing challenge of zero-day exploits and N-day attacks, and what we can do to manage the threat.
