2018. Identifying Vulnerabilities in APT Attacks: A Simulated Approach. 2018 9th IFIP International Conference on New Technologies, Mobility and Security (NTMS). :1–4.
This research aims to identify some vulnerabilities of advanced persistent threat (APT) attacks using multiple simulated attacks in a virtualized environment. Our experimental study shows that while updating the antivirus software and the operating system with the latest patches may help in mitigating APTs, APT threat vectors could still infiltrate the strongest defenses. Accordingly, we highlight some critical areas of security concern that need to be addressed.
