Protecting Cognitive Security. Building Cyber-Resilience.
Cognitive Security (CogSec) refers to the practices, methodologies and efforts made to defend against attempts- intentional or unintentional manipulations of and disruptions to human cognition and sensemaking (COGSEC, 2023) In response to the alarming 2017 testimony of Rand Waltzman to the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on the 'Weaponization of Information', MindShield stands as a pivotal call to action.
