Supporting Election Security for CISA

CTEC won a “Pool 1 Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to provide mis-dis-mal (MDM) information activities to the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). CTEC “leveraged its AI-powered predictive analytics platform to analyze historical target reactions to cyber attacks in order to inform and build models capable of identifying emerging social media Misinformation, Disinformation and Malinformation (MDM) activities. This work allowed CISA to develop risk mitigation materials tailored to the most at-risk targets based on CTEC’s strategic content optimized by analytics.”

CTEC’s security engineers “leveraged its AgileDNA+® framework to develop operational, technical, and performance measures for a wide variety of agency initiatives, including measuring the efficacy of CISA risk mitigation initiatives compared to its predictive model.”

Commentary:
CISA was one of the U.S. government hubs of censorship efforts during the Biden Administration, so it is not suprising that it doled out this massive $14 million contract to provide "MDM information activities." The jargon and bureaucratic babble in this award description makes it difficult to understand what it really is about, but it probably isn't good.
