Every cyber attack raises the same question: Who did it? But what should you know before trying to find that out? This talk takes you through the first steps of getting started with threat‑actor profiling — exploring the attribution problem, profiling, existing attribution models, and PACT, a new framework in progress built to facilitate the cyberattack‑attribution process.

Key takeaways:
Attendees will learn how to get started with threat‑actor profiling, understand the key elements that should be included, and apply a structured methodology to the process. The session will also cover challenges and suggestions on how to address them.
