Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 (SEP 12.1) includes protection technologies that go beyond traditional antivirus scanning to provide effective protection of endpoints against the sophisticated malware used by APTs. Traditional antivirus signature-based scanning is reactive in that a signature can only be written to detect a threat that has already been seen. The effectiveness of traditional file-based antivirus scanning technology is not by itself sufficient protection because a given malware associated with an APT will have extremely low prevalence, that is, will not be widely seen on the Internet. These attacks are specifically targeted and are often carried out using sophisticated malware. Challenges related to advanced persistent threats include cyber attacks that are designed to do anything from steal sensitive data for financial gain, corporate espionage, etc., to sabotage of critical infrastructure. Advanced persistent threats (APTs) pose serious challenges for organizations of all sizes.
