Zero day risks are Bullshit

"Patrick Clawson, newly appointed chief executive at PatchLink, poured
scorn on the panic associated with “zero day vulnerabilities” calling
it “bullshit”.

“I’m calling bullshit on the whole zero day thing. These
vulnerabilities are announced on that day, not released, it’s in the
year running up to that date where they cause problems. By the time
something like Slammer becomes well known, it is a nuisance, but [as an
IT manager] what you have to worry about, is what you don’t know.”"
