Advanced persistent threat global market size 2015-2025

In 2025, the advanced persistent threat protection market will be worth an estimated almost 12.5 billion U.S. dollars annually. An advanced persistent threat (APT) is a stealthy threat actor which gains access to a computer network unauthorized. The objective of the threat actor is to cause damage to the organization and/or gain information by stealing, spying, or disrupting. Because an APT attack ususally goes undetected for an extended period of time, the attackers have enough time to go through the attack cycle to achieve their objective.
