Does attribution of cyber operations actually matter? It depends on who’s asking. Using real world APT examples from threats attributed to Iran, Turkey, North Korea and Russia, we’ll demonstrate what details go into attribution work from the perspective of email security vendor, why attribution can be useful for defenders and how Blue Teams can use it to better inform threat modeling and risk. We'll define attribution, compare the concepts of attribution and Attribution, discuss how softer attribution should be paired with harder, more technical attribution and then close by discussing potential pitfalls we’ve seen with attribution working for the government, private corporations and at a security vendor.
