Threat Intel FAQ

What is the danger of a 0-day exploit versus a 1-day exploit?

A 0-day exploit targets a vulnerability for which no official vendor patch exists, making it invisible to standard patching cycles. A 1-day exploit targets a vulnerability that has been disclosed and for which a patch is available, but the organization has not yet applied it.

FemtoSec offers comprehensive offensive security services, including penetration testing and attack surface management, to proactively uncover vulnerabilities before they are exploited. We also provide dark web monitoring to detect if your organization's sensitive data is involved in related breaches.
