CogSec (shorthand for Cognitive Security) presents a cross-disciplinary domain of practice that incorporates more than a century of psychological research, with the latest advancements from social, cognitive, and information sciences in order to secure and preserve the integrity of individuals’ information and thought processes.

Individuals are not equipped to consciously recognize the ways and methods by which their own mental information processing is actively exploited and therefore unaware of the extent to which the quality and validity of their information and resulting judgements can be compromised. CogSec teaches strategy and tactics necessary to both understand and defend from psychological exploits, manipulations, and the operations that are now prevalent in today’s expansive age of information, technology, and psychological and behavioral engineering.
