An advanced persistent threat (APT) refers to a hacker or group that maintains unauthorized access to a targeted system, aiming to remain undetected for prolonged periods.
APTs are typically well-resourced with funding and access to government-level hacking tools, leading to their association with nation-states and long-lasting attacks.
Non-nation state groups have also shown APT-like persistence and capabilities, indicating a shift in the cyber threat landscape towards financially motivated cybercriminals.
Arbitrary code execution allows hackers to run malicious code on affected systems, often exploiting security vulnerabilities, to achieve remote or physical access.
