Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) is a type of cyber attack that is characterized by its long-term, targeted nature. It is typically used by malicious actors to gain access to sensitive data or systems, often with the intent of stealing information or disrupting operations. APT attacks are often difficult to detect and can remain undetected for long periods of time. APT attacks are typically carried out by highly skilled and well-resourced attackers, such as nation-states or organized crime groups. These attackers use a variety of techniques, such as exploiting vulnerabilities in software, using malware, or social engineering, to gain access to a target system. Once access is gained, the attackers can use the system to steal data, disrupt operations, or gain further access to other systems. The APT market is a rapidly growing sector of the IT security industry, with many companies offering products and services to help organizations protect themselves from these types of attacks. Companies in the APT market include FireEye, Symantec, McAfee, CrowdStrike, and Palo Alto Networks. Show Less Read more
