Building Resilience to Foreign Interference, Misinformation Activities
As part of the effort to #Protect2020, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency
(CISA) is working with national partners to build resilience to foreign interferences,
particularly information activities (e.g., disinformation, misinformation). The Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) views foreign interference as malign actions taken by foreign
governments or actors designed to sow discord, manipulate public discourse, discredit the
electoral system, bias the development of policy, or disrupt markets for the purpose of
undermining the interests of the United States and its allies. Responding to foreign
interference requires a whole of society approach—CISA has made available the following
foreign interference resources to #Protect2020:
• The War on Pineapple: Understanding Foreign Interference in 5 Steps
• Foreign Interference Taxonomy
• Social Media Bots Overview

necessary updates:
• iOS 12.4
