Episode 5: The Evolution of Attribution in Cyber Threat Intelligence with Kamil Bojarski
Signals & StoriesShow Notes
In this episode of Signals & Stories, Kali Fencl sits down with Jennifer Kolde (thesilence), Principal Intelligence Analyst at The Vertex Project, and cyber threat intelligence expert, Kamil Bojarski, to explore how attribution has evolved over the last decade.
Drawing from Kamil's recent workshop at CyCon, the conversation examines how modern cyber operations increasingly rely on complex ecosystems of contractors, infrastructure providers, malware developers, and operational teams. Together, they discuss why traditional attribution models are under pressure, how regional expertise can strengthen investigations, and why collaboration across technical CTI, OSINT, and geopolitical disciplines is essential for understanding today's threat landscape.
Whether you're a threat intelligence analyst, security researcher, or simply interested in how cyber operations are changing, this episode offers valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of intelligence analysis.
In this episode:
🔹 How cyber threat intelligence has evolved over the last 10 years 🔹 Why attribution is becoming more complex 🔹 The growing role of public-private cyber ecosystems 🔹 Why language and regional expertise matter in CTI 🔹 Common pitfalls analysts face when making assumptions 🔹 Lessons learned from building hands-on intelligence workshops 🔹 The future of attribution, collaboration, and intelligence tradecraft

For the final episode of this season of Signals & Stories, we’re going back to where the series began with Vertex Project co-founders visi and John “whippit” Rodgers.
What happens when the people building intelligence software work side-by-side with the analysts actually using it?
How do you know when intelligence is actually trustworthy?
Every cyber threat intelligence analyst eventually encounters a few uncomfortable truths.
Even the most experienced cyber threat intelligence (CTI) analysts aren't immune to cognitive bias. In this episode of Signals & Stories, the team explores some of the most common analytical pitfalls that can quietly influence investigations and how strong analytical tradecraft helps avoid them.
