An Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) is a long-duration, targeted cyberattack typically conducted by sophisticated groups to gain sustained access, exfiltrate data, or disrupt operations. These campaigns feature stealthy intrusion, customization, credential abuse, and extended dwell times across networks, often evading standard defenses. They are especially impactful in healthcare due to the high value of patient data and the critical nature of clinical operations.
