About Ben Buchanan:
Ben Buchanan is a Public Policy Fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and a PhD candidate in War Studies at King’s College London, where he is a Marshall Scholar. He holds undergraduate and masters degrees from Georgetown in Government and Security Studies, as well as professional certification in computer forensics. Ben’s research focuses on the intersection of statecraft and cybersecurity. His most recent scholarly article, co-authored with Thomas Rid and published in the Journal of Strategic Studies, examines the attribution of cyber attacks. Drawing on engagement with four leading cybersecurity companies and intelligence communities on both sides of the Atlantic, the article challenges much of the conventional wisdom regarding attribution. It outlines the major challenges in attributing cyber attacks and presents ways in which states and non-state actors can and do overcome those hurdles. The publication ranked as one of the most-read international relations articles of 2015 and is the second most-downloaded article in the history of the Journal. The article can be read here.
