What are APTs?
APTs stands for Advanced Persistent Threats. APTs are sophisticated and targeted cyber attacks that are carried out by skilled and well-funded threat actors.
Unlike typical cyber attacks, APTs are characterized by their persistence and stealthy nature. The primary objective of APTs is to gain unauthorized access to a network or system and remain undetected for an extended period.
Given the sophistication and persistence of APTs, defending against them requires a multi-layered approach to cybersecurity. This includes implementing robust security measures, such as network segmentation, strong access controls, intrusion detection systems, and continuous monitoring. Regular security assessments, employee training, and threat intelligence sharing can also help organizations detect and mitigate APTs effectively.
