From afar, it looked like a scene straight out of an H. G. Wells novel. In 2003, a series of blimp-shaped air vehicles began rising, one after another, over the arid terrain of Afghanistan. ; The unusual-looking ships—helium-filled aircraft called aerostats—rose to an altitude of 15,000 feet and floated quietly in the sky, each secured to a ground-based mooring system by long tethers. ; Insurgents on the ground were perplexed by what they saw. The airships didn’t seem to move, nor did they fire missiles or release bombs. ; It was only when insurgents began to notice coalition forces anticipating some of their covert operations that they realized those alien-looking airships had been watching—and recording—their every movement via a new surveillance program called the Persistent Threat Detection System (PTDS).
Advanced persistent threats (APT) are cyberattacks designed to steal sensitive data, conduct cyber espionage or sabotage systems over a long period of time.
An advanced persistent threat (APT) is a stealthy threat actor, typically a state or state-sponsored group, which gains unauthorized access to a computer network and remains undetected for...
APT uses stealth and various attack methods to compromise the target, typically a high-value corporate or government resource. It's tough to identify, delete, and attribute the attack. Backdoors are frequently constructed after a target has been penetrated to provide the attacker with continued access to the compromised system. APT is persistent because the attacker can spend months acquiring information about the target and then using that information to conduct additional attacks over time.
Learn about different types of threats like viruses, ransomware, advanced persistent threats, and threat detection and advanced threat detection solutions which combat them.
