Escalation of Zero-Day Exploits in Enterprise Networking Hardware (infosecurity-magazine.com)

• Record volume of zero-day vulnerabilities exploited in 2025.
• Significant focus on edge devices, representing nearly a quarter of all attacks.
• Trend shifts from individual user targeting to systemic infrastructure compromise.

"A 2025 analysis by Google reveals that zero-day attacks targeting enterprise software have reached unprecedented levels. Notably, nearly 25% of detected exploits focused on security and networking appliances, such as VPNs and firewalls. This shift indicates a tactical move by threat actors to bypass endpoint detection by compromising the underlying infrastructure. For European strategic autonomy, this highlights a critical vulnerability in the hardware supply chain and the resilience of enterprise-grade security perimeters."
