Writing software is hard

Writing code for today’s sophisticated software is hard and no matter how careful the vendors are, how many beta and alpha testers they have, errors will always slip through.

It is then a race, once the vendor realises there is a problem to write a patch, test that and get it out to you and me. That is the zero-day cyber security problem.
