The big picture: Backdoors are typically designed to bypass traditional authentication methods and provide unauthorized remote access to vulnerable network appliances or endpoint devices. The most effective backdoors remain invisible to both end users and system administrators, making them especially attractive to threat actors engaged in covert cyber-espionage campaigns.
