In a zero-day exploit or attack, a hacker will identify a vulnerability within a network and use it to their advantage before developers are even aware of it or have time to fix it—hence the term “zero-day.” With cyber security issues skyrocketing in recent years, 2021 was the worst year for zero-day attacks in history, with almost double the total number of attacks in 2020. In this episode, Claudette and her guests explore the phenomenon of zero-day attacks, how they work, and most importantly, how they can be mitigated in the future. To help inform the discussion, she sits down with cyber security experts Anna Loshkareva, the Senior Vice President of Advanced Cyber Defense at Booz Allen Hamilton, Jake Norwood, the Lead Cyber Security Delivery Executive for EU and the UK at Booz Allen Hamilton, and Stephen, the Senior Manager of TD’s Cyber Security Operations Center.
