Imagine someone is trying to trick a whole city by spreading fake news through a thousand different megaphone speakers. This work builds a better way to trace those voices back to the person holding the remote and figure out exactly how they are doing it. It creates a shared playbook so different organizations can stop these tricks together instead of fighting them alone.
European organizations struggle with fragmented data and inconsistent methods when trying to identify and stop foreign disinformation. This gap allows hostile actors to manipulate public trust and destabilize democratic processes.
The project is building updated technical standards for STIX 2.1 and OpenCTI, a dataset of previous FIMI interventions, and a countermeasures toolbox.
If you are a threat intelligence provider dealing with complex state-sponsored influence campaigns — this project developed improved attribution methods and data standards that allow you to identify hostile actors more accurately.
If you are a digital news agency dealing with coordinated disinformation attacking your reputation — this project developed research-based insights and linguistic analysis tools that help you debunk fake narratives faster.
If you are a crisis management firm dealing with gendered disinformation targeting your clients — this project developed technical formats to integrate gender analysis into threat detection, protecting high-profile individuals.
Based on available project data, no pricing or cost information is provided as this is a Horizon-RIA research project.
The project focuses on improving data standards like STIX 2.1 and OpenCTI, which are designed for wide-scale interoperability across EU institutions and member states.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not mentioned, though it involves contributions to open standards like DISARM and OpenCTI.
It integrates directly with established tools and standards including OpenCTI, STIX 2.1, and the DISARM system to ensure data can be shared across different platforms.
The project is active from 2024-02-01 and is scheduled to conclude by 2027-01-31.
The consortium is heavily academic, consisting of 5 universities and 1 research organization out of 7 total partners. With a 0% industry ratio and only 1 SME, the project is driven by theoretical and technical research rather than commercial application, suggesting the outputs will be standards and guidelines rather than off-the-shelf software.
