Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs)

Understanding APT Attacks

Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) are a form of cyberattack conducted by highly skilled hackers. They typically target specific entities and involve covert, long-term infiltration, combining various vulnerabilities and attack techniques to slowly compromise target systems and steal sensitive information.

APTs often originate from large hacker groups and are motivated by business or political objectives, focusing their attacks on specific organizations or even entire nations. Attackers tailor their methods to the target system, employing well-known tactics such as phishing emails, malware, and social engineering.

Traditional passive defense mechanisms like firewalls and antivirus software can be bypassed or exploited by APT attackers. Therefore, besides regular updates to defenses, raising awareness and vigilance is crucial. To guard against potential APT attacks effectively, organizations need to adopt proactive security strategies and continuous monitoring.
