"80% of Successful Breaches Are From Zero-Day Exploits"

In a new study, researchers surveyed 671 IT security professionals responsible for managing and reducing their organization’s endpoint security risk. The researchers found that 68% of IT security professionals say their company experienced one or more endpoint attacks that compromised data assets or IT infrastructure in 2019, an increase from 54% of respondents in 2017. Of successful endpoint attacks, 80% were new or unknown, zero-day attacks. Researchers expect the number of zero-day attacks to continue to increase in frequency.
