Problem Statement
What makes a zero-day exploit particularly dangerous?
Explanation
A zero-day exploit takes advantage of a software vulnerability that is unknown to the vendor or unpatched. Since there is no official fix yet, these attacks are extremely difficult to prevent.
Zero-day vulnerabilities can be sold on the dark web and are often used by advanced threat actors. Regular patch management, network segmentation, and intrusion detection can help reduce exposure and damage from such attacks.
