Summary: The Atlantic Council's Digital Forensics Research Lab (DFR Lab) documents and tracks foreign-backed influence operations and provides analysis on these incidents in order to aid the public in identifying and exposing such activities. DFR Lab also runs 360/OS, an annual conference providing training to journalists and activists on open source, social media, and digital forensic tools for identifying and documenting malign uses of digital technologies. The Atlantic Council also coordinated #ElectionWatch, an effort to monitor foreign influence in elections in Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico in 2018.
