The DISARM Framework, supported by the EU-funded ADAC.io project, is a tool for identifying and mitigating Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI). This review assesses its effectiveness, with input from user feedback, and evaluates its compatibility with frameworks like ABCDE and STIX to ensure its relevance for diverse stakeholders.
In view of an upcoming ADAC.io Publication that reviews DISARM and its compatibility with related frameworks, co-author of the publication and DISARM Foundation’s Chief Strategist, Victoria Smith, answered questions about how DISARM’s wide user base and commitment to interoperability are key to addressing these challenges effectively.
