September 2021:
Top News: This month, we highlighted our client, Logically, landing its new Vice President of Strategic Operations: Former Acting Under-Secretary for Intelligence at the Department of Homeland Security, Brian Murphy. Murphy’s experience in defense has prepared him extensively for his new role, where he will be partnering with U.S. government agencies, companies, civil society groups, academia, and NGOs to combat misinformation and disinformation as it presents itself online.
Per Murphy:
"During my career, I have seen first hand how disinformation and misinformation pose an existential threat to our society, and I share Logically's ongoing and earnest desire to make a real difference. My new position allows me to continue to contribute to the fight against these corrosive threats with a company that has the advanced tools needed to do so at speed and at scale. I look forward to working with multiple government bodies, companies, and other affected organizations to help them tackle these issues with greater impact."
