On January 25, Forward Defense nonresident senior fellow Francis X. Taylor co-authored an article in Just Security titled “The role for DHS in countering the disinformation threat.” In the article, Taylor and Gregory Michaelidis discuss “MisDisMal” (mis-, dis-, and malign information) and recommend how DHS can counter it.
DHS should treat the MisDisMal phenomenon as a growing threat to America’s security.
Forward Defense leads the Atlantic Council’s US and global defense programming, developing actionable recommendations for the United States and its allies and partners to compete, innovate, and navigate the rapidly evolving character of warfare. Through its work on US defense policy and force design, the military applications of advanced technology, space security, strategic deterrence, and defense industrial revitalization, it informs the strategies, policies, and capabilities that the United States will need to deter, and, if necessary, prevail in major-power conflict.
