Unknown threats

Signature-less APT's that can not be detected by traditional security solutions such as Anti-Virus. Unknown threats/exploits can remain undetected by security software for a very long time, in which an attacker can implement his malware in the system. The moment an unknown threat becomes known it is categorized as a Zero-Day threat.

Zero-Day exploits

A Zero-Day exploit is when an unknown vulnerability becomes known and the vendor of the product is developing a patch which will counter the vulnerability. The patching process usually takes up to 90 days if not more.
