Project Overview
The Information Warfare Working Group is a multidisciplinary group of Stanford University scholars that meet quarterly to discuss the issue of cyber-enabled information warfare. The group is led by Dr. Amy Zegart and Dr. Herb Lin and directed by Dr. Rosanna Guadagno (For more information on the group, please contact her at RosannaGuadagno at Stanford dot edu). Launched in November 2018, this group seeks to advance our understanding of the psychological, organizational, legal, technical, and information security aspects of information warfare and will produce recommendations for combatting disinformation in today’s information environment at its conclusion.
