What is a zero-day (0-day) exploit?

A zero-day exploit is an exploit for a vulnerability that the affected vendor has not yet begun to remedy, usually due to lack of awareness of the issue. Exodus specializes in unearthing these types of vulnerabilities and developing exploits to demonstrate the impact of such flaws.


How do your capabilities differ from competitor X?

Exodus focuses primarily on vulnerabilities that are proven to be exploitable. Our goal is to supply our customers with actionable data, relevant to their environment and needs. Other vendors in the security intelligence space prefer the "quantity over quality" methodology which results in an overwhelming amount of information for end users to digest and prioritize.


Exploits can be dangerous in the wrong hands. How do you vet potential customers?

Exodus respects all published embargo or banned persons list distributed by the US government. All final customer approval decisions are made internally and Exodus reserves the right to refuse business to any prospective customer without cause.
