THIS WEEK'S GUEST: RICHARD BENACK

We are in the midst of unprecedented hybrid-warfare tactics being waged against us by our adversaries abroad and domestically.

In no space is this more clear than with the cognitive warfare waged in social media. This is, in effect, the use of very sophisticated Psychological Operations (PsyOps) developed usually by various militaries, and used to target specific individuals all the way through to the general public.

Richard Benack has a Masters of Science (MS), Criminal Justice with an Emphasis in Cybercrime and Intelligence Analysis, and is a 20 year Air Force Intelligence and Counterintelligence Officer Veteran, with even more years working in the private security sphere.

Richard will guide us through the methods of these attacks, their breadth, and what we can do to guard ourselves against them. We will also explore the spheres of domestic terrorism at the shared root of cause, here, and those from foreign lands.

We hope you can join us.

Here is my latest article on Cybersecurity (you will need do a FREE Registration to see the whole article)

Social cybersecurity is an emerging field that focuses on understanding the impact of human behavior on information security, and the social, cultural, and political impact of cyber technology and cyberthreats. Unlike traditional cybersecurity, which is focused on the risk of hacking machines, social cybersecurity is concerned with the threat of hacking people. For example, one of the biggest social cybersecurity threats is ‘cognitive hacking’. Cognitive hacking is a type of cyber-attack that targets individuals and groups beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors by exploiting their psychological vulnerabilities, cognitive biases, and prejudices. Its goal is to influence the target’s perception of reality so they can be more easily manipulated. As a result, protecting people and organizations from cognitive hacks must become a primary goal of cybersecurity along with protecting information systems. This requires a new type of an information security professional who understands risks and threats to both technology and people. As a result, we need to recognize the increasing importance that social cybersecurity will play in keeping people, organizations, and even nations safer.

Social Cybersecurity: Protecting the Cognitive Domain from Hacking When we traditionally discuss the term “cybersecurity”, we think in terms of protecting computer systems and the data that resides in them. We rarely think of protecting the people who manage this technology and its associated data. Coming from the intelligence world, it was taught to assume tha...
