Leveraging Human Psychology to Thwart Cyber Attacks
CMU researchers use cognitive AI to get into the mind of the person behind a cyberattack to build stronger defenses for future networks. Cleotilde Gonzalez , research professor in the Department of Social and Decision Sciences, aims to address cybersecurity using cognitive modeling, a form of AI directed at using algorithms to imitate humans and to understand the psychology of the cyber adversary. Gonzalez’s team has partnered with Peraton Labs, an applied research organization that addresses cybersecurity, electronic warfare, mobility, analytics and networking for government and commercial customers worldwide. The program will unfold in several phases and will involve colleagues at the University of Texas, El Paso and the University of Washington.
