advanced persistent threats (apts)
Advanced persistent threats (APTs) refer to highly sophisticated cyberattacks that are orchestrated by skilled adversaries with significant resources, targeting specific organizations or individuals. Unlike traditional attacks, APTs are stealthy, persistent, and aimed at gaining unauthorized prolonged access to systems or networks, often undetected for extended periods. These threats are typically characterized by advanced techniques, extensive reconnaissance, tailored intrusion methods, and ongoing efforts to maintain access, making them particularly challenging to detect and mitigate.
