Honoured to give my first talk of many on the imminent importance of Cognitive Security or CogSec within the realm of cybersecurity, mental health, education, design and technology at the FIC North America Conference 2023 held in Montréal. Modern warfare is not necessarily a mushroom cloud- but more likely to be a silent invasion. A battle fought not just in cyberspace but in the very synapses of our brains. No matter how secure our systems are, the brain doesn’t come with a password. Psychological operations and social engineering are involved in over 90% of cyber crimes. PsyOps are cheaper, faster, easier and far more scalable than any other weapon. How can we still ignore this? What are we doing to protect ourselves?
