As part of the effort to #Protect2020 [ https://www.dhs.gov/cisa/protect2020 ], the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure 
Security Agency (CISA) is working with national partners to build resilience to foreign interferences, particularly 
information activities (e.g., disinformation, misinformation). The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) views foreign 
interference as malign actions taken by foreign governments or actors designed to sow discord, manipulate public 
discourse, discredit the electoral system, bias the development of policy, or disrupt markets for the purpose of 
undermining the interests of the United States and its allies.

Responding to foreign interference requires a whole of society approachCISA has made available the following foreign 
interference resources [ https://www.dhs.gov/publication/foreign-interference ] to #Protect2020:
