ASW #204 - Larry Maccherone

0-day vulnerabilities pose a high risk because cybercriminals race to exploit them and vulnerable systems are exposed until a patch is issued & installed. These types of software vulnerabilities can be found through continuous detection but even then may not always have a patch available. It’s important for software teams to set up tools that continually look for these types of flaws, as well as defenses that let software adapt itself to an evolving threat landscape. In this episode, we will discuss the ins and outs of 0-day vulnerabilities and what the future of managing them looks like.
