New Attribution Framework Connects APT Campaigns Through Strategic, Operational, and Technical Layers

This article outlines DarkAtlas’s campaign-based attribution framework that replaces rigid group-centric tracking with a multi-layer Overlap Model focused on discrete, time-bound campaigns. It describes six analytical layers (strategic, operational, tactical, technical, infrastructure, human), a Campaign Linkage Graph to represent relationships between campaigns, and recommends confidence-tiered attribution and campaign-centric tracking practices to reduce false or uncertain attributions.
