How to identify Zero-Day attacks?
It is always challenging to detect Zero-day vulnerabilities as they can take multiple forms like missing data encryption,
Missing authorizations, broken algorithms, weak passwords or bugs in the systems. Due to the nature of vulnerabilities, detailed information about zero day exploits is available only after the exploit identified.
You observe unexpected traffic or suspicious scanning activity from client or service. The traditional approach for detecting Zero-Day exploits often involves relying on disparate network and endpoint protection technologies, which may cause gaps in the security system. Unfortunately, this may not be enough to combat attackers using advanced attack methods. Detecting advanced targeted attacks requires an integrated, multi-layered approach.
