APT

(Advanced Persistent Threat)

An Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) is a prolonged and targeted cyberattack in which an intruder gains unauthorized access to a network and remains undetected for an extended period. APTs are typically carried out by highly skilled attackers, such as nation-states or organized crime groups, with the goal of stealing sensitive data or disrupting operations.

APT attacks often involve sophisticated techniques like social engineering, zero-day exploits, and custom malware. Organizations can defend against APTs by implementing robust security measures, such as network segmentation, intrusion detection systems, and regular security audits. Understanding APTs is crucial for protecting critical infrastructure and sensitive information.
