Application of Resilience Theory to Organizations Subject to Disinformation Campaigns

Wachtel, Amanda; Caskey, Susan A.; Gunda, Thushara G.; Keller, Elizabeth J.

Community, corporate, and government organizations are being targeted by disinformation attacks at an unprecedented rate. These attacks interrupt the ability of organizations to make high-consequence decisions and can lower their confidence in datasets and analytics. New interdisciplinary research approaches are being actively developed to expand resilience theory applications to organizations, and to determine the metrics and mitigations needed to increase resilience against disinformation. This paper presents initial ideas on adapting resilience methodologies for organizations and disinformation, highlighting key areas that require further exploration in this emerging field of research.
