There has been a 50% increase in the exploitation of zero-day vulnerabilities in 2023 compared to 2022.

The trend has shifted towards a preference for zero-day vulnerabilities over n-day vulnerabilities among cyber attackers.

Nation-state backed adversaries are primarily driving the rise in zero-day exploits, with espionage as the main motive.

The research identifies both positive and negative security trends influencing the proliferation of zero-day vulnerabilities.

Experts forecast a continued escalation in zero-day exploits and highlight the urgency for improved cybersecurity measures.
