It was a landmark event for cyberpsychology. Earlier this year, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence announced an Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) initiative called "Reimagining Security with Cyberpsychology-Informed Network Defenses," or ReSCIND. The program aims to improve cybersecurity by developing a new set of cyberpsychology-informed defenses that will leverage an attacker's human limitations, such as innate decision-making biases and cognitive vulnerabilities.

Cyberpsychology is the study of the impact of emerging technology on human behavior. Cyberpsychologists provide insight into the intersection between humans and technology.
The cyber behavioral sciences are growing exponentially due to the rapid acceleration of Internet technologies and the unprecedented pervasive and profound influence of technology on human beings. In this webinar, we will look at this emerging field. Noted cyberpsychologist Dr. Mary Aiken will discuss several critical cyberpsychological constructs and topics, including the IARPA ReSCIND project and cyber attacker cognitive vulnerabilities, the Online Disinhibition Effect (ODE), anonymity online, human and technical drivers of cybercrime, online safety technologies (SafetyTech), escalation and amplification in cyber contexts, human factors in cybersecurity, forensic cyberpsychology, cyber behavioral profiling, organized cybercrime, cyber leadership and resilience in cyberspace.
