Advanced Persistent Threat

An **Advanced Persistent Threat (APT)** is a sophisticated and targeted cyberattack orchestrated by highly skilled threat actors, such as nation-state actors, organized crime groups, or advanced hacker collectives. APT attacks typically involve a prolonged and stealthy infiltration of a target's network or systems, aiming to steal sensitive data, disrupt operations, or gain unauthorized access for espionage purposes. These attacks often employ advanced techniques, including zero-day exploits, social engineering, and custom malware, to evade detection by traditional security measures. APT actors are known for their persistence, adaptability, and ability to maintain long-term presence within compromised networks, making them particularly challenging for organizations to detect and mitigate. APT attacks pose significant risks to governments, enterprises, and critical infrastructure sectors, highlighting the importance of robust cybersecurity defenses and proactive threat intelligence efforts to defend against such threats.
