Introducing zeroday.cloud: First-of-its-kind cloud and AI hacking competition

Wiz and major Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) have announced the launch of zeroday.cloud, a unprecedented hacking competition designed to enhance the security of open-source software underpinning the cloud ecosystem. This initiative aims to proactively identify and remediate vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. While no specific threat actors or malware campaigns are detailed in this announcement, the competition underscores the critical importance of securing cloud infrastructure against potential future attacks. Participants will engage in authorized hacking to discover zero-day vulnerabilities, contributing to a stronger defensive posture for the industry. This proactive measure serves as a significant mitigation strategy against supply chain risks and cloud-based exploits. Organizations should monitor outcomes from this competition to understand emerging vulnerability trends and apply relevant patches to their cloud environments promptly to maintain security hygiene.

Wiz and the leading CSPs are launching one of the largest hacking competitions ever to secure the open-source software powering the cloud ecosystem
