Deceive and Disrupt: Disinformation as an Emerging Cybersecurity Challenge

Arthur de Liedekerke and Michael Zinkanell are presenting their latest AIES Studies publication "Deceive and Disrupt: Disinformation as an Emerging Cybersecurity Challenge". Today’s technological connectivity has opened up both extraordinary opportunities and unprecedented risks. Recent events have served as an acute reminder that digital disinformation has evolved from being a marginal nuisance to a potent tool to target people, organisations, or entire societies. Worryingly, disinformation campaigns appear to be the latest weapon in the arsenal of hostile actors carrying out cyberattacks. Demonstrating the growing overlap between disinformation and cybersecurity is the central focus of their analysis and online discussion.
