About

The Recognising and Managing Disinformation course offered by University of Melbourne will help you learn to use OSINT sources and techniques to help your organisation detect and counter disinformation.

Overview

From military conflicts and public health emergencies to democratic elections, climate change, and the threats posed by disinformation, misinformation, and malign influence (DDMI), we face many pressing global challenges.

This Recognising and Managing Disinformation course offered by University of Melbourne is ideal for intelligence analysts, cybersecurity specialists and other professionals seeking a deeper understanding of how disinformation impacts organisations, as well as the best practice skills needed to recognise, assess, and build resilience to mis and disinformation.

Drawing on key case examples such as the Russian Internet Research Agency, COVID-19, climate change, the invasion of Ukraine and disinformation campaigns in the Indo-Pacific, you'll understand disinformation and malign influence as a historical and global phenomenon and examine how they're used by state and non-state actors alike.
