A zero-day vulnerability refers to a security vulnerability for which no mitigation or patch is available at the time it is disclosed or made public.Existing software patches are unable to properly defend against zero-day exploits, meaning attacks of this nature present a serious security risk to organizations. Until the underlying vulnerability is mitigated, a zero-day exploit is akin to a pathogen for which no vaccine is available.

And in 2021 , a year where cybersecurity defenders have caught the highest number ever, Whopping 85 Zero days are identified and most of them are exploited in wild. Google Chrome tops the list with 17 Zero days followed by Microsoft and Apple respectively

Also this year seen two fold increase in the Zero days findings compared to earlier years . For instance year 2020 seen only 37 and year 2019 seen 28. this shows how the hunters are actively searched for the bugs in the products to exploit it
