November Cybersecurity and Information Environment Webinar

The November Cybersecurity and Information Environment webinar is pleased to host the Cyber Resilience Institute’s (CRI) Doug DePeppe and Jane Ginn on November 17th at 3PM MST.

The CRI team will discuss the use of parallel hunting techniques – using social media and technical telemetry – to reveal disinformation and misinformation sources. Link analysis to conduct deep source checking helps analysts evaluate and connect influencers and trending hashtags to their sources, which is especially critical to reveal adversary nation-state influence operations, such as election interference.

Those interested will be able to join a Call to Action, facilitated by the National Cybersecurity Center (NCC), in which we explore opportunities to collaboratively increase cyber resilience.
