Certified Threat Intelligence Analyst (CTIA) — Question 15

Which of the following characteristics of APT refers to numerous attempts done by the attacker to gain entry to the target’s network?

Answer options

• A. Risk tolerance
• B. Timeliness
• C. Attack origination points
• D. Multiphased

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because attack origination points indicate the various locations or methods from which attackers attempt to breach a network. The other options do not specifically address the idea of multiple attempts; risk tolerance relates to the level of risk an organization is willing to accept, timeliness involves the speed of attacks, and multiphased refers to the stages of an attack rather than the number of attempts.
