Known vs. Unknown Threats

Known threats are security risks that have been previously identified, analyzed, and documented, often with established signatures or patterns. Unknown threats, on the other hand, are novel attacks or vulnerabilities that have not been seen before and lack readily available defenses or signatures. This distinction is critical for cybersecurity professionals because it dictates the strategies and tools used for detection and mitigation.
