Cyber Cognitive Attacks and Defense Strategies

The field of cyber cognitive attacks is rapidly evolving, with a growing focus on developing proactive defense strategies to counter the increasingly sophisticated threats. Researchers are working to quantify the impact of disinformation campaigns and predict the emergence of new disruptive innovations that can be used to exploit psychological biases. A key area of research is the development of novel frameworks and methodologies for measuring the effectiveness of cognitive attacks and forecasting the malicious use of emerging technologies. Another important aspect is the study of social media interventions and deterrence mechanisms aimed at reducing the spread of misinformation. Noteworthy papers in this area include: Quantifying the Engagement Effectiveness of Cyber Cognitive Attacks, which introduces a novel framework for measuring the engagement effectiveness of cognitive attacks. Towards Proactive Defense Against Cyber Cognitive Attacks, which proposes a predictive methodology for forecasting the emergence of disruptive innovations and their malicious uses in cognitive attacks.
