Episode 28 — APTs and the Modern Threat Vector Map (2.3)
This episode introduces advanced persistent threats and uses them as a bridge into the broader Security+ threat vector landscape. An advanced persistent threat is typically associated with capable actors who use stealth, patience, planning, and repeated access attempts to achieve long-term objectives. For the exam, students should understand that persistence and quiet access can matter as much as immediate damage. The episode also maps the modern threat vectors covered in this domain, including messaging platforms, browsers, endpoints, cloud services, supply chains, physical access, remote access, SaaS, IoT, OT, and trusted tools used maliciously.
