Combatting Zero Day Attacks: What You Should Know

Cybersecurity experts spend a lot of time following trends and forecasting cyber threats. A specific type of threat has been dominating cybersecurity news sources in early 2024: zero day attacks. Experts agree, zero day vulnerabilities can leave your organization open to cybercrime, and the risks are growing.

In a zero day attack, cyber criminals locate and precisely exploit an organization’s software vulnerabilities. As vulnerabilities are being exploited, there are “zero days” to develop – and implement – a fix.

Zero day attacks are potentially among the most destructive attacks your business might encounter. The name alone conveys the seriousness of reacting to this type of breach. So how can you defend against zero day attacks?

  • Stay up-to-date on cybersecurity news. Emerging threats are round-the-clock, persistent, and ceaseless. Having mastery in the recognition of threats, plus the ability to quickly transform that recognition into protective action, are the keys to zero day attack mitigation. 
  • Understand the risks. Zero day attacks are deliberately launched at software flaws and access to operating systems. Zero day attacks don’t necessarily trigger operating system warnings. Quite often, the discovery of a zero day attack happens after a cyber attacker has already gained entry into your operations. Knowing the singular aggressiveness of this type of attack is important: you need a comprehensive plan to defend. 
  • Develop a comprehensive defense. A plan that is specifically tailored for your business’s zero day attack response might include a multi-layered approach, including things like anti-virus platforms, artificial intelligence-based behavioral security tools, storage control, endpoint device browser security, real-time endpoint security, continuous monitoring, vulnerability assessment, and employee training. It also must include a quick response plan, should a vulnerability surface. 
  • Partner with an industry leader in zero day attack protection. Because expertise and urgency is part of the solution, there is unparalleled benefit from connecting with a partner who will do the work for you. From prevention to patching, a strategic partnership with a team of experts can take the pressure off of your organization to be fully prepared for a zero day attack.
