Free eGuide: Detecting the Enemy Inside the Network: How Tough Is It to Deal with APTs?
"Detecting the Enemy Inside the Network: How Tough Is It to Deal with APTs?"A better understanding of targeted attacks can give security groups the correct mindset in dealing with these threats.
Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) refer to a category of threats that pertain to computer intrusions by threat actors that aggressively pursue and compromise chosen targets. APTs are often conducted in campaigns—a series of failed and successful attempts over time to get deeper and deeper into a target's network—and are thus not isolated incidents. In addition, while malware are typically used as attack tools, the real threat is the involvement of human operators who will adapt, adjust, and improve their methods based on the victim's defenses. Discover how these attacks occur and what a business can do against APTs with this white paper.
