Introduction to Advanced Persistent Threats (APT) Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) are a growing concern in the cybersecurity landscape, posing significant risks to organizations worldwide. These sophisticated cyberattacks are stealthy, persistent, and highly targeted, making them challenging to detect and mitigate. Characteristics of APTs APTs are characterized by several key attributes: Advanced Techniques: APT actors employ advanced tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to infiltrate networks and evade detection. They often exploit zero-day vulnerabilities or use custom malware specifically designed for their targets. Persistence: APTs are persistent in nature, aiming to establish a long-term presence within compromised networks. Attackers maintain access to...
