“
We continue to see zero days found that have been in software for many years. One of the most recent was an 8-year-old Linux kernel vulnerability. We all must realize that all the preventative measures in the world will not stop these hidden zero days from destroying our security posture overnight. It’s time to beef up our “detect” mechanisms and deploy tools that can detect anomalous activity throughout your environments.”
