HCPP22 | J. Karasek aka 4n6strider - Counter intelligence: Defending against the cognitive warfare

Jindřich is a Senior Cyber Threat Researcher working for Trend Micro. Also, a security data scientist known as 4n6strider.
The main focus of his research is the domain of cognitive warfare, (cyber) espionage, and advanced persistent threats and manipulators.
In his work, he often analyses enormous piles of data to deduce the Ontology of the security issue to enable the machines to detect the threat on a scale.

The talk will be a brief overview of the cognitive threats we are facing these days. Methods for detection and measurement will be disclosed. With help of ML, it is possible not only to detect the manipulation but also to monitor the perpetrator and produce the antidote!
We all have brains, that ingest and process everything we see and hear regardless we want to. This fact is abused in what is now called cognitive warfare. The aim of this talk is to present the most often routes to our brains, used by so-called “Advanced persistent manipulators” and the ideas on how to measure the “psyops” in the digital world.

Paralelní Polis is a one-­of-­a-­kind nonprofit organization that brings together art, social sciences, and modern technologies. The ideas of liberty, independence, and innovative thinking, and the development of society are the main underlying foundations the whole project is built upon.
The project intends to remain state-free as it operates entirely without government support. Most of the funds come from voluntary contributions of our donors and partly from commercial activities such as running a unique co­working space and the world’s first bitcoin-­only cafe.
It was founded by members of a contemporary-­art group Ztohoven, and Slovak and Czech hacker­spaces. Its main goal is to promote economic, social, and digital freedom. We try to be a vocal voice of liberty in order to shape the public discourse, and ultimately work towards a freer future.

Offers deep insights into the methods of „apolitical truth finding“ and enforcement to serve the Ministry of truth. :-)

The framework is there. Yet the presenter drives the car off the cliff with the clear irrational bias in some of the examples. So close.
