The field of cyber defense is shifting towards incorporating insights from cognitive science and psychology to enhance defensive strategies. Recent research focuses on leveraging cognitive biases and manipulating attacker decision-making to gain a defensive advantage. This approach recognizes that real-world attackers exhibit cognitive constraints and biases that can be systematically triggered to degrade their efficiency. The development of descriptive models and frameworks that integrate moral, epistemic, and virtue-informed perspectives is also underway, aiming to support sound trust decisions amid complexity and misinformation. Noteworthy papers include: GAMBiT, which introduces a cognitive-informed cyber defense framework that manipulates attacker cognitive states to enhance defense. The MEVIR Framework provides a comprehensive model for human trust decisions, integrating virtue epistemology and moral foundations theory to explain trust formation and polarization.
