Attribution and Response

Paul de Souza, Founding Director
Cyber Warfare Division, Cyber Security Forum Initiative

Abstract
The attribution problem is critical to a number of puzzling cyber security dilemmas.  Attribution is one of the main issues faced by nations when responding to cyber-attacks.  While tracing the origin of attack through a confusing network of proxy servers or infected bots is technically challenging, enough attribution can be attained through the use of creativity, deception, and unique techniques.  Mr. de Souza will cover an attribution framework, which can be used by organizations and countries looking for higher attribution levels so the appropriate response can be materialized in a timely manner.
