The Zero-day Threat

I am involved in an IT/Cyber Security Audit this week – so I am pushed for time to produce articles a Wednesday article for Smart Thinking.

Zero-day

What I can give you is all three parts of my Zero-day mini-series that I completed last week:

The Zero-day Threat – What is it?

The Zero-day Threat – What can you do about it?

The Zero-day Problem – Do Something Special

This is a good time to think about the Zero-day threat as both Microsoft and Apple have issued updates this week to fix zero-day flaws in their operating systems. (Although Apple have had to withdraw theirs, and open up the Webkit zero-day flaw, whilst we wait for the updated fix.)

Being involved in this audit meant that Diana wrote a guest article on CyberAwake, continuing the Risk story.

Risk Assessment – Understanding Your Assets – CyberAwake

Normal service will resume – I will be looking at the Security Operations Centre and the insider threat.
