Overview

Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) are long-running, targeted cyber campaigns conducted by skilled threat actors (often nation-state or well-funded groups) that gain and maintain covert access to networks for extended periods. They use tailored malware, multi-stage intrusion chains, and living-off-the-land techniques to exfiltrate data or disrupt operations while avoiding detection. Their significance lies in their stealth, persistence, and potential to cause strategic data losses, espionage, and complex remediation challenges across sectors.
