Kevin Simzer, COO at Trend: "Our top priority is empowering our customers to take a proactive approach to cybersecurity. The Zero Day Initiative is one of the best tools we have to stay ahead of cybercriminals, and it's one of a kind. Nobody else in the industry can protect their customers as far in advance as we do."
Trend ZDI is a leader in global vulnerability research and disclosure. In 2024 it helped to responsibly disclose
The research behind these newly discovered bugs ensures that Trend customers receive virtual patches against zero-day vulnerabilities. These virtual patches are available, on average, more than two months before official vendor updates are available.
But the ZDI doesn't just benefit Trend customers. It makes the digital world safer for everyone by ensuring software flaws are fixed by vendors before threat actors can exploit them.听
The program comes from humble beginnings, when it 听in 2005 by TippingPoint, a division of 3Com. The idea was simple: financially incentivize the security research community to find zero-days in common products and responsibly disclose those to the relevant vendor so they can make their products more secure.
The now-famous 听followed in 2007, offering teams of researchers an opportunity to go head-to-head against each other and the clock to find zero-days in pre-selected product categories.
Trend became the custodian of the ZDI in 2016 after acquiring TippingPoint. Today, the program boasts 450+ dedicated researchers working from 14 global threat centers, and a wider community of over 19,000 vulnerability researchers.
Highlights of the ZDI program include:
- that a patch for a LNK vulnerability exploited by the infamous Stuxnet worm did not work properly. Their research enabled Microsoft to issue a new patch, five years after the original
-
$125,000 - ZDI researcher found in Apple's QuickTime for Windows software, prompting the tech giant to cease support for the product. ZDI led the charge to urge QuickTime customers to uninstall it
- The ZDI's work has helped to on numerous occasions, including the Black Energy APT which has frequently targeted
Ukraine over the years - A ZDI researcher won a 2023 Pwnie for "most under-hyped research" when he discovered a : activation context cache poisoning
