The Spy with a License to Kill

Every organization is at risk for zero-day exploits regardless of size. These exploits will often circulate for months until the vulnerability is made public, leaving organizations unprotected. This paper will discuss various methods that organizations can use to better detect zero-day exploits. Organization size will be examined to determine whether it plays a part in the detection methods used regarding zero-day exploits. Information technology professionals will be better informed and therefore, better prepared to defend against zero-day exploits by knowing and using this information in their unique environment.
