Fortifying Defenses: Combating Dis/Misinformation in an AI-enabled World

In an era marked by the pervasive spread of disinformation and the democratization of advanced artificial intelligence capabilities to create synthetic media, the need for robust defense mechanisms has never been more urgent. The Defending Against Disinformation Common Data Model (DAD-CDM) and the DISARM Framework stand at the forefront of this battle, offering structured approaches to identify, analyze, and counteract disinformation campaigns. The DISARM Framework and DAD-CDM serve as a unified platform for organizations worldwide to exchange critical information, facilitating early detection and rapid response to emerging threats. Leveraging the DISARM Framework, which codifies adversary behaviors and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), stakeholders gain insight into manipulative strategies employed in disinformation campaigns, enabling proactive defense measures and enabling a more rapid and comprehensive incident response.

In our upcoming presentation, we will explore the intricate intersection of AI, disinformation, and cybersecurity, shedding light on the pivotal role of DAD-CDM and DISARM in safeguarding against evolving threats. Through real-world case studies and practical insights, we explore how these frameworks empower governments, cybersecurity experts, industry, and organizations to mitigate the influence of disinformation and AI-created synthetic media. Join us as we uncover strategies to fortify defenses and foster collaborative efforts in combating misinformation in the digital age.
