Neuroscience & Neuropsychology: Exploring the Brain for Cyber Defense

In an age where cyber threats have grown in complexity, cybersecurity must evolve beyond technical measures and delve into the human mind. This intersection of neuroscience and neuropsychology offers a deeper understanding of cognitive vulnerabilities that attackers exploit. By analyzing the brain's functions—decision-making, attention, memory—we can better anticipate and counteract malicious behavior in cyberspace.

This blog explores how insights into the brain can enhance cyber defense strategies. From identifying cognitive biases in phishing attacks to using neuropsychology to understand social engineering tactics, the role of the brain in cybersecurity is pivotal for building more resilient systems.
