App isolation helps defend against zero-day exploits It creates the perfect scenario for a zero-day attack, allowing attackers to expertly spread and compromise more devices than ever before. This combination of sophisticated social engineering attacks is a lethal weapon that leverages “the art of deception” combined with human-operated ransomware, allowing attackers to stay undercover while exploiting a system’s vulnerabilities. The malicious code executes when the application opens the weaponized content, exploiting vulnerabilities and downloading malware on the endpoint. With zero-day being the new constant, organizations must defend and protect themselves, paying special attention to the user applications as most of the zero-day vulnerabilities out there fall within this environment.Īttackers leverage social engineering tactics to gain users’ trust, deceive them, and influence their actions-from opening a malicious link attached to an email to visiting a compromised website. Social engineering unlocks doors to zero-day attacks These vulnerabilities are often sold on the dark web for thousands of dollars, fueling nation-state and ransomware attacks and making the cybercrime business even more appealing and profitable to attackers. Zero-days has become a great profit engine for hackers due to the imperil it poses to the public, organizations, and government. With zero-days, or even zero-hours, developers have no time to patch the code, giving hackers enough access and time to explore and map internal networks, exfiltrate valuable data, and find other attack vectors. Zero-day security vulnerabilities-known to hackers, but unknown to software creators, security researchers, and the public-are like gold to attackers.
