A hybrid cognitive-neurophysiological approach to resilient cyber security

Abstract

Cyber infrastructure remains vulnerable. Communications systems lack resiliency, a characteristic common to many natural systems. In this work, we present an interdisciplinary neurotechnological approach to considering resilience in cyber communications systems. A model for communications systems security is reconciled with corresponding models of physiological situational awareness and cognitive adaptive goal direction. Finally, we discuss operational considerations of our approach to achieving resiliency, particularly as it relates to cloud computing.
