Life cycle of a vulnerability

I spend a lot of time with clients, in training courses and on this blog, explaining the significance of the “zero day” issue and how every organisation (and individual) needs to have a plan to deal with it.

This post from SANS Internet Storm looks at the life cycle of the F5 vulnerability, the zero day gap and the exploits that were active to take advantage of this gap.

It is a bit technical but it does illustrate the issues we all face across the software and hardware we depend on. Make sure you have some plans in place to deal with these issues.
