CISA and Vietnam veterans partner to raise awareness about the threat of disinformation
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA) released a series of public-awareness products designed to help veterans and other Americans identify disinformation and prevent its spread. The products include posters and other resources are posted to VVA.org/Protect2020 and will be disseminated to VVA members and partners as part of a broader effort to build a more resilient electorate by encouraging the American public to trusted sources of information.
“Foreign adversaries continue to seek ways to divide Americans and spread disinformation in an effort to undermine faith in our democracy,” said CISA Senior Cybersecurity Advisor Matt Masterson. “The strongest defense against disinformation is an informed public, and by working with VVA, we will be able to reach more Americans and arm them with what they need to spot and stop disinformation. Our veterans have always stepped up when called upon, and once again, they can play a crucial role in defending our democratic process from foreign interference.”
