Cybersecurity Meets Cyfluence Defence: Applying Cognitive Security Posture Management to Managed Contested Spaces

As cyber and influence operations grow increasingly intertwined, a reductive framing of "cyber-enabled influence" is no longer sufficient. This primer from the Cyfluence Research Center introduces Cyfluence, a conceptual domain that models cyber and influence operations as components of integrated, non-linear kill chains. It examines how these threats manifest in Managed Contested Spaces (MCSs) such as universities, smart cities, and corporate environments, and proposes a new defence framework, Cognitive and Cyber Security Posture Management (C2SPM), that adapts proven cybersecurity principles to the cognitive threat landscape. With the integration of hyper-automation, C2SPM offers near-real-time detection, assessment, and remediation across cognitive, digital, and physical dimensions.
