RE: Definition of Zero Day Protection

["Fulp, J.D. USA" <jdfulp () nps edu>]

Here's a "stab"... and probably on the mark if I may be so bold.

I bet it:
1) IS marketing blurb (and a good one), and
2) Simply represents the fact that the tool is behavior/anomaly-based
   rather than relying on known (previously seen/reported) signatures.

What is Zero Day Protection, I think I understand the definition of Zero
Day Exploits.  But what is Zero Day Protection?  Another marketing blurb
or it can vendors actually offer zero day protection?   

Thank you for clarifying my confusion
