Definition - What is an APT

An advanced persistent threat is a network attack in which an unauthorized person gains access to a network and stays there undetected for a long period of time.

The purpose of an APT attack is to steal data rather than to cause damage.

What distinguishes an APT from other threats is it is targeted, persistent, evasive and advanced

Security Strategies:•To attack the security gap, organizations need smart people, visibility into their networks, endpoints and logs.

•Organisations also need actionable threat intelligence that identifies malicious activity faster.

•Protecting your computer with a standalone anti-virus solution only is simply no longer enough to protect your devices and your sensitive information.

•A comprehensive, 360-degree security solution is entry level protection
