Disinfo Threat Report.pdf

The Department of Homeland Security's 2020 report identifies foreign influence activity as a significant threat to national security. The LAPD can pilot the ABTShield disinformation-monitoring program to counter this threat. Online manipulation is flourishing, with malign actors amplifying false narratives to sow division and undermine trust in public institutions. ABTShield provides a comprehensive warning system using AI, machine learning, and human analysis to identify emerging threats, track online activity, and detect bot and troll attacks. The solution is fully scalable, not limited to a specific language or territory, and offers 24/7 flexibility for data access. ABTShield concentrates on disinformation, artificial traffic, and artificial accounts, using behavioral analysis and semiotic analysis to identify and segment disinformation strategies. The team behind ABTShield, EDGE NPD, specializes in identifying and combating online manipulation by combining competencies in behavioral psychology, social communication, network and security technologies, and AI modeling.
