In an increasingly complex digital landscape, the lines between traditional cybersecurity threats and the broader dangers of information manipulation are blurring. This talk, "In Defense of Facts: Setting Standards Against Information Threats," delivered by Lester Godsey, CISO of Maricopa County, dives into the critical and often overlooked realm of **misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation (MDM)**. Godsey argues passionately that MDM is not merely a societal problem but a potent threat vector with profound implications for an organization's financial stability, reputation, physical security, and cyber resilience.
