The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity will hold a proposers day on Feb. 28 to discuss with industry partners a new program aimed at developing new cyber network defenses through cyberpsychology-determined practices.
Reimagining Security with Cyberpsychology-Informed Network Defenses seeks to apply cyberpsychology to defend against cyber threat actors by analyzing their human limitations, such as cognitive weaknesses and inherent decision-making biases, according to a notice posted Friday on SAM.gov.
Through the ReSCIND program, IARPA aims to develop novel methods to identify and model attackers’ human limitations or cognitive biases as well as measure and induce changes in cyber attack behavior and success.
The agency also seeks to provide algorithms for automated adaptation of cyberpsychology-informed defense platforms based on observed attack behavior.
Interested companies have until Feb. 13 to register for the event.
