An Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) is a prolonged and targeted cyberattack in which an intruder gains access to a network and remains undetected for an extended period. The goal is usually to steal data rather than cause immediate damage. APTs are sophisticated, often state-sponsored, and use a variety of techniques to evade detection and maintain access.
