Applying Cybersecurity To Cognitive Defense

This talk explores the intersection of cognitive psychology and cybersecurity, focusing on how cognitive biases and information overload are exploited to manipulate human decision-making. The speaker analyzes the 'OODA loop' (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) as a framework for both offensive manipulation and defensive cognitive hardening. The presentation emphasizes the need for 'critical ignoring' and 'pre-bunking' techniques to mitigate the impact of misinformation and social engineering in modern digital environments.
