Advanced Persistent Threats - Cutting Through the Hype

From the December 14, 2011 webcast: http://www.nitrosecurity.com/resources/webcasts/advanced-persistent-threats-c...

Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) are one of the most talked about issues in cyber security - and the most misunderstood. Stealthy, prolonged incursions deep into critical IT systems - by deliberate adversaries -- are both sensational media headlines and a critical issue at the top of Federal agendas.

From recent U.S. Intelligence reports that detail nation-state sponsored espionage, to the Operation Shady RAT and Duqu attacks, the U.S. is carefully evaluating the state of advanced attacks and even adapting policy to encompass the use of offensive cyberattacks in response to external threats.
