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 is identified.

You observe unexpected traffic or suspicious scanning activity from clients or services. 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.

How to prevent Zero-Day exploits?

Zero-day vulnerabilities can leave the business with disastrous results. Here are a few ways to take proactive and reactive

Measures.

1.Use top-rated security software-  Ensure the software doesn’t just cover known threats because zero-day attacks are By definition, attacks are not known.
2.Updated Software-Regular installation of the updated software is needed as there can be security measures against intrusion.
3.Use updated browsers- Browsers are favorite targets for Zero-Day attacks. Make sure the browsers are updated as they often contain patches to vulnerabilities
