Title

Advanced Persistent Threat

Control

Provide literacy training on the advanced persistent threat.

Discussion

An effective way to detect advanced persistent threats (APT) and to preclude successful attacks is to provide specific literacy training for individuals. Threat literacy training includes educating individuals on the various ways that APTs can infiltrate the organization (e.g., through websites, emails, advertisement pop-ups, articles, and social engineering). Effective training includes techniques for recognizing suspicious emails, use of removable systems in non-secure settings, and the potential targeting of individuals at home.

Assessment objective

AT-02(05) literacy training on the advanced persistent threat is provided.
