Bridging the Gap: How the DISARM Framework is Shaping the Fight Against Disinformation

The podcast is generated from my substack post which primarily explains the DISARM framework, an open-source tool designed to combat disinformation campaigns. DISARM, which stands for Detect, Identify, Situational Awareness, Attribute, Remediate, Measure, uses a kill chain model (planning, preparing, executing, assessing) and categorizes disinformation tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to systematically analyze and disrupt such campaigns. The framework is presented as a collaborative, action-oriented solution, unlike purely theoretical models, and its application in real-world scenarios, including analyzing disinformation related to the war in Ukraine and Chinese influence operations, is highlighted. The text emphasizes the importance of understanding TTPs to anticipate and counter disinformation efforts effectively. Finally, it notes the absence of a single solution but promotes DISARM's contribution to building resilience against disinformation.
