Washington D.C., Oct. 13, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The weaponization of digital vectors for a more expedient and potent manner of message delivery has become a pandemic as nation-states use technological means to streamline distribution of fake news, propaganda and other ill-intended content. National Security now depends more on winning the hearts and minds of a population than it does on kinetic warfare. With the hyper-evolution of cyberspace and technology, we have become a world less divided by geographical borders and more divided by ideological variation. Few things are certain in the emerging cyber-kinetic-meta-war; however, one absolute is that dragnet surveillance capitalism, formerly a privacy issue, has metastasized into a national security epidemic. Malicious influence operations are undermining the willpower of populations and the integrity of democracies across the globe. The delivery of objective, non-partisan research, and advisory to key decision makers is vital to the opposition to these sophisticated multi-vector operations.
