Cybersecurity and Hybrid Threats Following the Russian Invasion of Ukraine: Discussion
Dr. Richard Browne:
There are four questions in total from the Deputy. I thank him for them. They are extremely pertinent. In the first instance, it is important to explain in a little detail - I will not take up too much time - that there is a formal process known as attribution, where states attribute a cybersecurity incident. This State has never independently attributed any incident to another state. It is a diplomatic process that, in essence, involves calling out an attacker. We have taken part in and joined several European attribution processes-----
