APT Prevention | Advanced Persistent Threat Prevention

– Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) is a security threat to specific targets in an intelligent, continuous manner, with advanced, targeted attacks aimed at stealing confidential information. It attempts to attack by finding weaknesses, such as distributing malicious code attachment URLs to users through the Internet or e-mail, or detecting patterns of PC users Victims are unaware of the extent of the damage as well as the fact that they have been victimized.

– ‘APT’ takes information in four stages: penetration, trenching, collection and leakage. Attackers infiltrate the network, gather internal information over a long period of time, plan the next step, and proceed through the discovery phase. Once the relevant data has been collected, intelligent continuous threats are concluded by either leaking information or damaging the system during the leakage phase.

– The ‘Operation Aurora’ incident, which took place in August 2011, has been reported to have cost more than 70 locations, including Google, U.S. government agencies, and government agencies and businesses in each country, over five years. In July of the same year in Korea, ‘SK Communications’ was attacked by ‘APT’, and the personal information of about 35 million people was leaked.

When you need SWG

As businesses begin to operate on the Web, they must use the external web to collect and interact with information.

It is necessary to block paths of malicious URLs and prohibit access to malicious URLs.
