iTWire Friday, 02 April 2021 07:10 Attribution not the most difficult part of sec research: Bitdefender VP Featured Daniel Clayton: "Good researchers do the analysis to separate the noise from the facts." Supplied Most people in the infosec industry are adamant that attribution is the most difficult part of the process, but Romanian security firm Bitdefender's Daniel Clayton is an exception. The vice-president of global services and support said this was not really the case. "Researchers shy away from attribution because it often impossible to be 100% certain," he told iTWire during a detailed interview. "However, an intelligence comment by its very nature is a probability statement. When you speak to researchers, they are generally very confident about attribution, but when you read research papers and articles, they tend to be less concise."
