In this episode of the mnemonic security podcast, Robby is joined by Dustin Childs, Head of Threat Awareness at Trend Micro’s Zero Day Initiative (ZDI). Dustin explains the ZDI’s role in purchasing and analysing vulnerabilities to provide early protection for customers and how zero days – previously unknown vulnerabilities – become "n-days" once disclosed or patched.

The conversation highlights the critical importance of timely patching, the risks posed by bad patches, and the concept of virtual patching as a defence strategy. Dustin also delves into attack surface monitoring, the evolving threat landscape, and the ongoing challenges of balancing security and usability in modern networks.
