Security leaders need to justify every tool. Here's how early zero-day detection translates into measurable outcomes.
Shorter exposure window
Industry data suggests 7–14 days from first exploit visibility to CVE publication is common. Detecting and patching 3–7 days earlier can cut your exposure window by 50–70%. That directly reduces breach and incident risk during the most critical period.
Scan cost reduction
If continuous zero-day monitoring required hourly or daily full scans, cost would balloon. Our approach uses one baseline scan; checks run every 10 minutes against that snapshot. So you get continuous monitoring with roughly 99% fewer scans than an hourly-scan model—saving time and infrastructure load.
Less alert fatigue
When alerts are asset-specific and version-aware, false positive rates drop. Teams spend less time triaging irrelevant alerts and more time fixing real risk. That's harder to put a number on, but it improves mean time to remediate and team morale.
Summary
Early zero-day detection isn't just "nice to have." It shortens exposure, cuts scan costs, and makes alerts actionable—all with zero agents or performance impact.
