My previous blog on threat modeling for managed attribution presented a basic framework for analyzing the MA solutions you might use to protect your online operations. In this post, I further analyze the kinds of information that could be visible to the various categories of threat actors.
Many entities could act as potential threats when you execute your online missions. Depending on the threat actor’s attitudes and capabilities, the severity of these threats can vary.

Tracking links are helpful to improve your marketing campaign or increase traffic to your website. But they can also have serious implications for your managed attribution—whether you click on them or you create them.
The internet has become an incredibly visual medium. Faces are everywhere online, particularly in social media. But, if you are trying to go online under an alias, faces can create a major problem.

In this episode of the series, I apply our threat model to a scenario with significantly higher vulnerability than the last. In this example, the client is conducting active engagement with an overseas illegal marketplace operated by the target.

The definition of managed attribution is the process of controlling the technical and behavioral indicators that comprise your online identity or attribution.
