APTs: Why Security Intelligence is Required

HACKING ATTACKS ARE ALWAYS SCARY, YET A RECENT IDG RESEARCH
SURVEY OF CSOs AND OTHER IT LEADERS PAINTS AN EVEN SCARIER
PICTURE: ADVANCED PERSISTENT THREATS (APTs) ARE ON THE RISE.
FORTUNATELY, RESPONDENTS ARE WELL AWARE OF THE DANGERS
ASSOCIATED WITH APTs EVEN THOUGH VERY FEW HAVE CONFIDENCE
IN THEIR ABILITY TO SUCCESSFULLY FIGHT OFF SOPHISTICATED ATTACKS.
