Zero day refers to security vulnerabilities that are discovered in software when teams had “zero days” to work on an update or a patch to remediate the issue and, hence, are already at risk. If a malicious attacker can identify a key software vulnerability, they can exploit the vulnerability, allowing them to gain access to your systems.
