Zero days threaten to ruin your day every time a new one is discovered. A zero-day is a cybersecurity term for a software vulnerability that is unknown to the public and the software vendor, meaning there are no available patches or fixes to protect against it.

"Zero-day" refers to the fact that the software developer has had "zero days" to create a fix, leaving them and their users exposed to attacks from hackers who discover and exploit the flaw. This means there is nothing you can do until a vendor releases an update to fix the discovered issue.

How Qbitz responds

Most of the time, vendors will release some guidance about options to keep you safe. When you hear about a zero-day, we usually reach out to the vendor in question for guidance about possible solutions to prevent hackers from exploiting the flaw.

Alongside that, layered protection matters: managed detection and response for 24/7 threat monitoring, endpoint management so patches land the moment they ship, email protection, and security awareness training so your team recognises an attack when it arrives.
