The Technical Characteristics of Attribution: How Do You Know Who Did It?

Past
 Panel

As more and more malicious cyber incidents occur, governments, C-suite executives and insurers increasingly want to know who should be held responsible for the event and the extent of any harms. The first step in that process, before you get to legal and political attribution, is a technical one – knowing that an incident has occurred and then identifying the actors responsible. Join the Stimson Center and WFLS in this webinar featuring Microsoft, MITRE and the CyberPeace Institute as they discuss this challenge with former senior US Government executive the Hon. Christopher Ford.
