Problem Statement
What distinguishes an Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) from other attacks?
Explanation
Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) are sophisticated, prolonged attacks often carried out by organized groups or nation-states. They aim to infiltrate a network, remain undetected, and steal sensitive information over an extended period.
Unlike common attacks that are quick and noisy, APTs focus on stealth and persistence. Defense requires layered security, continuous monitoring, and threat intelligence to detect unusual behavior early.
