Threat Actor Attribution Definition: Identifying the individual or group responsible for a cyber attack based on evidence and analysis of tactics, techniques, and procedures used in the attack.
Threat actor attribution is the process of identifying and determining the origin, motive, and characteristics of entities responsible for cyber attacks or security incidents. It involves collecting and analyzing various digital clues, such as malware signatures, network traffic patterns, and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), to trace back to specific threat actors or groups. This attribution helps organizations understand who is targeting them, why they are being targeted, and how to respond effectively to mitigate future risks.
