Detecting Zero Day Exploits

As technology use proliferates and enterprise IT environments become increasingly complex, the danger of exploits has grown more ominous than ever before. Most organizations are prepared to deal with known threats through the use of specific security tools, such as IDS or IPS devices, vulnerability assessment tools, and anti-malware and antivirus devices. With zero day exploits however, the source is often an unwitting internal user, and manifests in ways that are undetectable by traditional means. Many IT organizations are not adequately equipped to detect and respond to the initial threat.
When an exploit can come from anywhere, prevention and remediation require a true, global window not only into security specific event data, but operations as well. Zero day exploits are best identified by automatically recognizing aberrant behavior, and immediately alerting administrators.
