CompTIA CySA+ CS0-003 Practice Question

The correct answer is Advanced persistent threat because APTs are known for their prolonged and targeted cyber campaigns against specific entities. They use sophisticated techniques and remain undetected for long periods to gather intelligence or disrupt operations. Hacktivists typically engage in cyber activities to promote political agendas or social change and do not usually exhibit the level of sophistication or long-term focus associated with APTs. Organized crime groups are financially motivated and may lack the level of sophistication seen in APTs. Insider threats are individuals within the organization who may intentionally or unintentionally compromise security, but they do not necessarily employ advanced techniques over extended periods like APTs.
