The Internet Changes Before the Advisory Drops

A GreyNoise study found that malicious targeting activity on the internet typically begins 11 days before vendors publicly disclose vulnerabilities, with the pattern observed across 33 CVEs from 16 vendors. The research showed eight distinct attack surges against a Cisco CVSS 10.0 zero-day compressed from 39 days to just 2 days before disclosure, suggesting attackers gain knowledge of flaws before official advisories.

Why it matters: Security teams need earlier visibility into exploitation activity because attackers are actively probing for vulnerable systems days before patches are available, leaving a critical window where defense is reactive rather than proactive.
