As part of Securing The Human's commitment to the community, every month we post a new security awareness video. For February, we just released our newest awareness video "Advanced Persistent Threat". This five minute video explains in simple terms what APT is, walks your through how they operate, and what you can do to protect yourself against them. With all the recent news about targeted attacks (The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post) we felt APT was the perfect topic for February.
