APT Book

ISACA Conducted a survey on advanced persistent threats (APT) in 2012, which identified a lack of guidance in the market surrounding the APT. APT is significantly different than traditional threats and requires different tools to manage them.

This publication is scheduled for release in Q4 2013.
