Eto Buziashvili is a Research Fellow at the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab (DFRLab). In this role, Buziashvili shapes strategy for the DFRLab’s Russia portfolio and leads research on Russian foreign information manipulation and interference (FIMI) targeting Europe. Her work focuses on designing and advancing counter-FIMI policy responses and operational approaches, as well as driving institutional partnerships across Europe. In 2024, Buziashvili was named one of NATO’s “20 Women Fighting Information Threats.”

Before joining the Atlantic Council in 2019, Buziashvili served as an advisor to Georgia’s National Security Council and held other public-sector roles focused on national security. In these positions, she advised on Russia-related security challenges, contributed to the development of strategic policy documents, and supported high-level coordination between national authorities and Western partners on security and foreign policy priorities.

For three consecutive years (2022–2024), Buziashvili served as an adviser on Russia for Freedom House’s annual Freedom on the Net report. She is an invited lecturer for international programs, including universities, academic platforms, and government-affiliated institutions.

A recipient of a full Swiss Confederation scholarship, Buziashvili holds a Master of Advanced Studies in International and European Security from the University of Geneva and is an alumna of the GCSP’s year-long professional program.
