Why Day Zero Matters

Today’s leadership challenge is no longer just understanding vulnerabilities. It is about distinguishing weak signals from noise, mapping exploits to enterprise risk, anticipating regulatory shifts, navigating cyber economics, and making decisions at a pace the business expects.
