What this card says
Short answer
A zero-day is a vulnerability with no public patch at the time it’s found or exploited.
Example
You can’t patch it yet, so you lean on layers: least privilege, EDR behaviour detection, segmentation.
Say it in the interview
“Defence-in-depth buys time until the vendor fix lands, then I patch fast.”
Why it matters
No patch means detection and layering are your only defence for a while.
