DISARM Retrospective and Futrospective
As 2025 draws to a close, the non-profit DISARM Foundation is reflecting on the key developments from the ADAC.IO project. This paper examines the challenges, successes and DISARM's future plans, including the upcoming launch of DISARM 2.0
DISARM's mission is to facilitate collaboration and information sharing in the defender community. We at DisinfoDocket are excited to announce that we'll be working more closely with DISARM in the future, with the aim of supporting efforts to both understand and counter influence operations. Stay tuned for more updates.
