An attack in which an unauthorized user gains access to a system or network and stays there for a long time without being discovered is known as an advanced persistent threat. Enterprises are particularly vulnerable to advanced persistent threats because hackers continuously have access to private data. APT solutions include sandboxing, threat intelligence management and reporting, forensic analysis, and others as a means of detection, prevention, and potential remediation of zero-day threats and persistent harmful attacks.
Over the predicted period, the demand for APT security may be driven by rising levels of digitization as well as a reliance on legacy systems. Threats to Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems and the use of ransomware in recent cases of user data theft can spur market expansion. The market may benefit from the application of cybersecurity techniques as well as safeguards to evaluate different threats. Patching antivirus software on schedule and educating staff about the advantages of cybersecurity can drive market expansion.
The development of the market may be hampered by advanced attacks that could take down systems and procedures. Due to their prevalence, advanced techniques of attacking mobile phones could restrict market expansion.
The obsolete and ineffective methods of dealing with malware threats are no longer sufficient in light of technological innovation. Numerous cybersecurity tools, such as anti-malware and anti-virus programs, can only identify threats; they are unable to prevent them from defending the corporate network against unknown or zero-day attacks. As a result, this factor also raises the opportunity for the growth of Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), supporting the market in the years to come.
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increase in cyberattacks, which is driving the market growth for advanced persistent threat security. Malware attacks have been caused by remote working and a shift in business away from the limits of the home during COVID-19. APT protection solutions can help enterprises stay on track with their security objectives and sustain commercial operations. Market expansion can be facilitated by the creation of cybersecurity regulations and strict adherence to them by blocking access to particular websites and social media platforms.

Executive Summary
According to the report, titled, “Advanced Persistent Threat Market," the advanced persistent threat market was valued at $5.9 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $30.9 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 20.5% from 2022 to 2030.An Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) is a network attack in which cybercriminals enter a computer or network and use it (its system) to conduct undetected operations. APT attacks are mostly directed at companies that handle highly secret data, such as governmental and financial institutions.
Since APT do not appear to be malware at first glance and can infiltrate themselves quite deeply in an administration's IT systems, and are particularly difficult to identify and remove. The APT's developers and designers are continuously keeping an eye on it and directing its actions by updating their code to evade detection and morph it into a changing set of characteristics. Moreover, a penetrated company won't even be aware of it; they might not learn about it until much later through log analysis monitoring with Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions or by outbound communication activities.
Cyber threats are not only affecting the productivity of businesses but also harming essential IT infrastructure and sensitive data of firms. There is a surge in the frequency of cybercrimes because of the quick growth of digital transactions across all industrial verticals. The market for cyber security goods and services is being driven by the rise in enterprise data breaches or data leaks. This increase is attributable to technologies such as Machine Learning (ML), which enable attackers to produce several variants of harmful code every day. Malware bytes also notes that state-sponsored APT organizations and online criminals have switched to using COVID-19 lures. Attacks include lure documents with links to malicious Microsoft Office templates, malicious macros, RTF exploits using OLEI-related vulnerabilities, and malicious LNK files.
Advanced persistent threats are diverse in nature, long-lasting, and highly targeted. Due to the emergence of several new zero day threats, the security needs are also changing as a result of changes in the business environment. Businesses are at danger due to this lack of knowledge about advanced security risks, which is also slowing the demand for advanced persistent threat prevention. Enterprises generally lack a lot of understanding regarding APTs and effective defense strategies.
Concerns about security have increased dramatically as a result of the rising trend of a gazillion gigabytes of sensitive data flowing to the cloud, since cyber attackers are now a serious threat. Companies that rely too much on cloud-based business models are now more vulnerable than ever to a variety of cyber threats. The goal of security is the continuous and continuing assessment of risks and uncertainties. Data breaches have become a very common occurrence due to the massive volume of data produced by IoT devices, data loss prevention technologies, and security information (security solutions) in industry 4.0. In order to deal with these data breaches, firms are choosing advanced analytics, strict access controls, and technology.
The global advanced persistent threat market share is segmented based on deployment mode, services, solutions, and region. By deployment mode, it is classified into cloud and on-premise.
