We are a partnership of information professionals focused on the study, advancement, and application of information-related activities and technologies to achieve specific, predictable effects.
The conference will be held at Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) in Atlanta, GA. IPA looks forward to assisting with this event in collaboration with our GTRI and ARLIS partners and our Industry sponsors. Please stay tuned for additional information here as planning continues.
Our mission is to provide a forum for information professionals to interact, collaborate, and develop solutions that enhance the cognitive security of the US and our friends and allies. The IPA serves as the nexus for information professionals interested in the application of soft and hard science, advanced analytics, and innovative technologies to advance security, prosperity, shared values, and international order through the free flow of ideas and information.
We are a new and growing organization, and we have made significant progress over the past year in growing our membership base, increasing support and interest from strategic partners, and building a brand that will help us in our advocacy and long term sustainability.
Cognitive Security is a field concerned with influence and protection from influence of large groups of media users and consumers both online and offline. Although cognitive security emerges from social engineering and discussions of social deception in the computer security space, it differs in a number of important respects. In particular, Cognitive Security focuses on (1) the exploitation of cognitive biases in large public groups, (2) social influence as an end unto itself and (3) formality and quantitative measurement.
