Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) are known for their sophisticated, prolonged, and discreet nature. They typically involve ongoing, targeted attacks often backed by nation-states. Their main goal is to gain and maintain access to a network without detection, rather than causing immediate damage or disruption.
