On Friday, December 1st, Threat Intelligence Academy will host Charity Wright, Principal Threat Intelligence Consultant at Recorded Future, in the Advanced Cyber Threat Seminar with a lecture and debate on attribution vs. narrative in combatting information operations. About The Debate We will discuss the challenges of attribution in influence operations analysis, especially those campaigns on social media platforms. What changes will we see in Influence Operations over the next 5 to 10 years? What technologies might become obsolete? What new technological threats will we face in the future that could impact influence operations and audiences specifically? Should we continue analyzing IO the way we do today? What can we do to prepare for and defend against future IO? About Charity Charity Wright is a Principal Threat Intelligence Consultant at Recorded Future.
