CISOs across industries are faced with five major challenges, as they scramble to secure connected devices

Network scanning is basically the mapping of all active devices on a network. This is done by sending a ping to each device and waiting to get a response. Cyber threat detection is conducted by reviewing the responses to see if there are inconsistencies that could point to a threat.

A zero-day (0day) vulnerability is an existing vulnerability in software or hardware that can become a pathway for hackers to weaponize and exploit.
