The following are components of our “Counter-disinformation as a Service” (CaaS) offering. This CaaS concept intentionally applies a suite of preparatory and responsive systems to be used in combination. There is no single solution to the constantly evolving threat of hybrid information attacks. A layered system is best.
● Counter-disinformation training
We provide bespoke training in how individuals and organizations can spot and defend against hybrid information threats. Our experts have trained thousands of people from hundreds of U.S. and international organizations.
- Media literacy training
- Disinformation case study training
- Gamified disinformation “inoculation”
● Counter-disinformation “penetration testing”
We use agentic AI to assess an individual’s online profile and then to simulate a “disinformation attack” on the individual, based on their vulnerabilities. This system offers a powerful warning to employees that their online profile is a cognitive attack vector, and it perfectly complements our CaaS training sessions.
- AI-enabled individual employee vulnerability assessments
- AI-enabled individual employee test calls/emails
● Human communication validation
Validating human identities is becoming more important as deepfake systems are now able to replicate voices and faces. We consult to organizations on the implementation and use of efficient systems to validate identities during important transactions.
- Digital authentication (one-time passwords)
- “Secret word” systems
● Monitoring and warning
Information consumers are swimming against a riptide of disinformation, misinformation and malinformation. We have assessed, operationally tested, and implemented data analytics technologies that can help organizations identify attacks early, and we have implemented them for national-level organizations. We implement monitoring systems.
- Data analytics systems purpose-built for spotting cognitive attacks
- Expert counter-disinformation data analysts
● Digital content validation
Digital content (videos, images, etc.) requires greater scrutiny as AI enables bad actors to cheaply create convincing media. We consult to organizations on the effective use of experts, technologies and techniques to test the authenticity of digital media.
- Expert assessments of videos/images/files for deepfake indicators
- Digital watermarking of AI-generated content
- Digital authentication of original images
- Employee proficiency in reverse image searches
- Employee referral to fact checking sites
● Disinformation responses
Bad things will happen, and when they do, the best response will be the one that you’ve prepared and practiced. We consult on the development of crisis communications plans and practical reactions that can be the difference between organizational ridicule and organizational redemption.
- Standing company crisis communications plan
- Standing company plan for legal action after a disinformation attack
- Standing company policy against copyright infringements
- Company insurance against fraud and identity theft
