Former IMDEA Software Institute researcher Silvia Sebastián has joined the #ThesisIn180s initiative and explained clearly and concisely what “An Automated Framework for Cybersecurity Attribution and Artifact Relationship Identification “, her thesis, is all about.
Attribution is the crucial task of answering the question “Who did it? “ in cybersecurity. It has long been hampered by challenges such as anonymized information, manual processes and high costs.
Silvia proposes the creation of an attribution graph, where nodes represent digital artifacts, such as IP addresses and domains, or identities, and edges capture the connections between these indicators.
This automated attribution approach represents a significant advance in the field of cybersecurity.
These tools are expected to improve the overall security landscape by streamlining the attribution process and enabling cybersecurity professionals to stay one step ahead of evolving threats.
