Answer Description

A nation-state actor is typically characterized by a high level of sophistication and capability, often with considerable resources at their disposal. They operate with the backing of a nation-state, making them capable of launching advanced, targeted attacks. In contrast, an unskilled attacker usually lacks resources and operates with minimal technical knowledge. An insider threat acts from within the organization and may or may not have a high degree of technical capability. Organized crime refers to groups that engage in criminal activities, which include cybercrimes, but are not necessarily state-sponsored and may vary in sophistication.
