Capability-report

The NATO Strategic Communications Center of Excellence recently published a report titled A capability definition and assessment framework for countering disinformation, information influence, and foreign interference. In the report, the author James Pamment, Director of the Psychological Defence Research Institute at Lund university, proposes a capability assessment framework to be used as a flexible approach to be applied by different types of actors such as government departments and agencies, NGOs, research organisations, tech companies, and private-sector intelligence companies. The framework entails four capability assessment tools, addressing the challenges of assessments to be utilized through varied stages of encountering disinformation, information influence, and foreign interference.
