Attributed Resource Page
COGSEC.org Research
Selected research materials from the Cognitive Security and Education Forum, presented as an attributed reference resource for cognitive security, sensemaking, information environments, and knowledge-management frameworks.
Mandate description
COGSEC.org, the Cognitive Security and Education Forum, was formed in response to a call for a nongovernmental center for cognitive security following RAND Waltzman’s 2017 testimony on the weaponization of information. Its work brings together interdisciplinary perspectives across cognitive science, computer science, engineering, social science, security, public policy, psychology, education, and related domains.
Its mandate emphasizes pedagogy, sensemaking, research collaboration, public access to tools and frameworks, and resilience in complex information environments. COGSEC.org describes itself less as a formal membership association and more as a router for a network of individuals and communities of practice working on cognitive-security related initiatives.
