Advanced Persistent Threats (APT)

Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) are sophisticated cyberattacks where an unauthorized party infiltrates a network to steal information or disrupt operations. Unlike typical attacks, APTs are prolonged, often involving multiple stages, including initial access, stealthy movement within the network, and data extraction. APT attackers use advanced techniques to bypass security measures, often targeting organizations like governments or corporations for sensitive data. The goal is not just immediate gain but long-term surveillance and control. Awareness and proactive cybersecurity measures are essential to defend against these persistent threats.
