Impact of Cognition on Cyber Behavior
(2024-2025)

The IARPA ReSCIND program aims to improve cybersecurity by understanding how human cognition impacts cyber behavior and could affect cyber actors success in network attack activities. Specifically, well-established cognitive patterns, such as loss aversion and the representativeness bias, will be investigated as potentially mitigating factors in the efficacy of cyber attack behavior.
