July 2025 Meeting
Join ISSA New England for an Essential July Webinar!
We’re excited to welcome Dr. Matthew Canham, Executive Director of the Cognitive Security Institute, for a critical discussion on the emerging field of Cognitive Security.
Why This Matters:
As our world becomes increasingly interconnected through technology, the challenge of distinguishing truth from fiction has never been more complex. Cognitive security addresses how new and emerging threats influence information processing systems—both human and artificial—at multiple scales.
About Our Speaker:
Dr. Canham brings 21+ years of expertise in cognitive security research and human-technology integration, including experience as a former FBI Supervisory Special Agent. His research focuses on cognitive factors in synthetic media social engineering and online influence campaigns, with work funded by NIST, DARPA, and the US Army Research Institute.
What You’ll Learn:
• Understanding the Cognitive Security Institute’s mission and research
• Insights into the Cognitive Attack Taxonomy (CAT) - a comprehensive framework cataloging cognitive vulnerabilities and attack vectors
• How cognitive security impacts cybersecurity professionals today
• Real-world applications and defense strategies
This webinar is perfect for security professionals, risk managers, IT leaders, and anyone interested in the intersection of psychology and cybersecurity.
