The Threat of Zero-Day Exploits #
A Zero-Day vulnerability is a security flaw that is unknown to the software vendor or public, meaning no patch or fix exists yet. Hackers often exploit this gap immediately, making protection crucial.
How CyberWAF Provides Zero-Day Shielding #
Our platform uses advanced heuristics and virtual patching techniques, which do not require direct code modification on your site:
-
Behavioral Analysis: We look for behavior patterns typical of zero-day attacks, rather than known signatures.
-
Protocol Enforcement: If a new vulnerability attempts to bypass standard protocol rules, the WAF enforces strict compliance and blocks the suspicious request immediately.
Verification and Configuration #
-
Status Check: You can verify the status of your Zero-Day protection within your Client Area under the “Security Overview” section.
-
Recommendation: This feature should always be enabled and is active by default on all CyberWAF plans to ensure continuous, proactive defense.
