Threats to businesses come in all shapes and sizes. Even when you look at cyberattacks in particular, two attacks can carry very different weight depending on who they are targeting and why. Some cyberattacks are general – scammers sending phishing emails to millions of people hoping that some of them will open a link or attachment. Others are targeted at specific businesses, with the intention of gaining access to systems and stealing confidential and incriminating data.
An Advanced Persistent Threat, or APT, falls into that second category. This makes them particularly dangerous attacks that all businesses should be aware of.
