DoD awards $17 Million Contract with GA Tech to Help Establish Science of Cyber Attribution

The Department of Defense awarded $17.3 million over 4.5 years to Georgia Tech to further the science of attribution. The initiative will provide proof of involvement by specific groups, identifiable by their methods of attack, consistent errors and other unique characteristics. Such attribution could support potential sanctions and policy decisions – and discourage attacks by providing transparency for activities that are normally hidden.
