Zero-Day Initiative

The Zero-Day Initiative (ZDI) is a program aimed at improving cybersecurity by identifying and reporting vulnerabilities in software before they are exploited by hackers. A "zero-day" refers to a security flaw that is unknown to the software vendor and has no available fix, leaving users exposed. ZDI works with security researchers and companies to discover these vulnerabilities, then responsibly discloses them to the affected organizations to help create patches. This helps protect users by reducing the time that these vulnerabilities remain unaddressed, ultimately leading to a more secure digital environment.
