IT Analysis - From Zero Day Exploit to Zero Day Fix

To compete in today's electronic world, organisations rely on software applications, some off-the-shelf, others customised for them, and still more that they develop or modify themselves. Most large enterprises have thousands of software applications in use, many of which are web-enabled. Because web-enabled applications are external facing they need to be highly available and to perform well. If an application is not available, an organisation may lose customers because they cannot access it, hurting their revenues. Applications also tend to be ever more feature and function rich, allowing a dynamic, more collaborative experience for customers and their business partners to whom they grant access.
