Abstract

Cyber-enabled influence campaigns sit at the nexus of intelligence-based deception and strategic-oriented delivered effects.They represent an increasing potential for states to re-configure domestic political dynamics at scale.We offer an analytical construct to better understand the mechanism by which cyber-enabled influence operations work and better discern the strategic goals behind cyber-enabled influence campaigns.
