FOREIGN INFORMATION MANIPULATION AND INTERFERENCE (FIMI) AND CYBERSECURITY – THREAT LANDSCAPE

The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) and European External Action Service (EEAS) have collaborated to develop an analytical framework for studying threat landscapes of Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI) and disinformation. FIMI is a proposed concept by the EEAS that puts emphasis on manipulative behavior rather than the truthfulness of content being delivered. The report proposes an analytic approach describing FIMI and manipulation of information by combining practices from both cybersecurity and FIMI domains.
