Abstract
A method and system for adaptively securing a protected entity against a potential advanced persistent threat (APT) are provided. The method includes probing a plurality of resources in a network prone to be exploited by an APT attacker; operating at least one security service configured to output signals indicative of APT related activity of each of the plurality of probed resources; generating at least one security event respective of the output signals; determining if the at least one security event satisfies at least one workflow rule; and upon determining that the at least one security event satisfies the at least one workflow rule, generating at least one action with respect to the potential APT attack.
