Advanced Persistent Threat

According to the APT definition, Advanced Persistent Threat is a targeted cyber attack which, in contrast to other types of attack, often pursues specific espionage or sabotage goals and relies on sufficient financial support. An APT attack is not only complex and effective, but also requires technical sophistication on the part of the attacker. Due to technological advances, more and more hostile organizations are trying to gain access to defense, financial and other sensitive information of governments and companies, but also authorities and individuals. The multi-stage attack, which lasts over a longer period of time, constantly confronts IT with new challenges. The still most effective APT protection is an intelligent security measure, which also includes an end-to-end strategy.
