All About Advanced Persistent Threats

Advanced Persistent Threats are sophisticated and targeted cyberattacks carried out by well-financed and technically skilled attackers over an extended period of time, often with the aim of stealing confidential information or sabotaging systems.

What's Inside?

In this comprehensive 24-page APT guide, you will find all the answers to:

— What is the current threat situation from APTs in the DACH region?

— What are the key security challenges that decision-makers should focus on first?

— How can organizations improve their threat detection and response capabilities, especially in the context of APT attacks?

— What role do Network Detection and Response (NDR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) play in combating APTs? And how can companies take advantage of NDR and AI to strengthen their security infrastructure?

— What are the guidelines for preparing for the growing threat situation and finding a suitable solution?

Who is this Whitepaper for?

This whitepaper is aimed at decision-makers and experts in the fields of information security, IT security, SOC team leaders, and Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), Chief Information Officers (CIOs), and Chief Technology Officers (CTOs) who are responsible for developing and implementing security strategies in their organizations.

Decision-makers in SOC teams and security experts who already cover extensive aspects of threat detection, investigation, and response with technologies such as SIEM and EDR will find additional recommendations in this whitepaper to strengthen their company's resilience.

An AI-supported NDR solution helps in the analysis to detect suspicious activities that indicate anomalies in network traffic, unusual user behavior and other suspicious activities. By integrating threat intelligence feeds, the NDR solution can detect known malicious techniques. In addition, it uncovers vulnerabilities in the system (e.g. unknown devices, old servers, etc.) that could be used as potential backdoors for an attacker.
