Computer security has become a fundamental pillar for any business. Cyberattacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and one of them is of particular concern: a <\/span>zero-day attack<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a type of threat that exploits unknown vulnerabilities in software or systems, even before the manufacturer is aware of them. This makes it a formidable enemy to predict and, therefore, very damaging if not addressed promptly. <\/span><\/p>\n

In this context, having tools that allow us to anticipate potential threats is a necessity. <\/span>Kartos, Enthec’s cyber surveillance solution,<\/b>has been designed precisely to address this need. It enables companies to proactively identify risks, continuously monitor their attack surface, and minimize the window of exposure to potential intrusions. <\/span><\/p>\n

What exactly is a zero-day attack?<\/b><\/h2>\n

A zero-day attack <\/span>exploits a vulnerability that has not yet been detected or corrected<\/b> by the developer of the affected software. The term “zero-day” refers to what we also know as “release day,” referring to software or systems that have not yet been patched for <\/span>vulnerabilities<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, cybercriminals can exploit this weakness to their advantage, making this type of attack one of the most critical threats to businesses of all sizes. <\/span><\/p>\n
