TOP STORY

  • 0-days are expensive. It’s econ 101. Supply goes down but demand keeps rising, prices rise. Cyberscoop’s recent article looks at this trend and reviewed Symantec’s report. “Weaponizing an exploit in 2017 is much, much harder than it was even two to three years ago,” our CTO Alex Rice was quoted in the article. He continued, “This is ultimately good news,” Rice said. “The software we rely on most consistently is getting significantly harder to exploit and vulnerabilities are far more rare.”
