  • How do we judge the real risk of being attacked using an exploit for a zero day vulnerability? Does the zero day risk vary by company, industry, etc?
  • What does pricing for zero days tell us, if anything? Are prices more driven by supply or demand these days?
  • What security controls or defenses are useful against zero days including against chained zero days?
  • Where are the cloud zero days? We get lots of attention on iOS and Android, what about the cloud platforms?
  • So, how do we solve the paradox of zero days, are they more scary than risky or more risky than scary? Or both?
