]]> What are Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs)? https://phoenixts.com/blog/what-are-advanced-persistent-threats-apts/ Mon, 30 Nov 2015 14:11:45 +0000 http://phoenixts.com/?p=26312 Advanced persistent threats (APTs) use uncommon and sophisticated methods. Tactics such as social engineering, the use of zero-day exploits which leverage the element of surprise, and the tactic of stealth, make it very difficult to deal with. Discern the Attacker’s Goals to Classify Persistence “The term ‘persistent’ refers to the fact that the goal of […]

Because the balance favors offense, it is currently very cheap to do cyber attacks while simultaneously expensive to defend against them. Formal correctness is a part of the security paradigm of security by correctness which when done properly can […]
