Palo Alto Networks Cybersecurity Entry-Level Technician (PCCET) — Question 60

Which statement is true about advanced persistent threats?

Answer options

• A. They use script kiddies to carry out their attacks.
• B. They have the skills and resources to launch additional attacks.
• C. They lack the financial resources to fund their activities.
• D. They typically attack only once.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is correct because advanced persistent threats (APTs) are known for their capability and resources to execute multiple, sophisticated attacks over time. Options A and D are incorrect as APTs do not typically rely on script kiddies and they do not focus on one-time attacks. Option C is also wrong since APTs are often well-funded and can sustain their operations.
