Integrating EWACS and the Reimagined Pyramid of Pain: Proactive Strategies against Adversarial Information Operations
Abstract:
This paper proposes a multidisciplinary approach to combatting adversarial information operations, drawing upon theoretical frameworks and practical applications. It proposes proactive countermeasures, including an Early Warning and Control System for early detection and intervention. The study also highlights media literacy and institutional cooperation as essential strategies for building societal and individual resilience against disinformation, while emphasizing the need to uphold ethical standards. In conclusion, this paper advocates for converging theory and practice in addressing adversarial information operations. The proposed approach integrates cybersecurity theory with practical applications, providing a holistic framework for countering disinformation in today’s information environments.
