Social CyberSecurity Working Group
The movement of information should not compromise the infrastructure. Actors should not be able to compromise the cyber-environment so as to unduly influence or manipulate individuals, groups and communities.
Social CyberSecurity is an emerging scientific area focused on:
1. the science to characterize, understand, and forecast cyber-mediated changes in human behavior, social, cultural and political outcomes,
2. the science and engineering to build the cyber-infrastructure needed for society to persist in its essential character in a cyber-mediated information environment under changing conditions, actual or imminent social cyber-threats.
Perspective
We need to maintain and preserve a free and open information environment in which:
- ideas can be exchanged freely,
- the information source is known,
- disinformation and false data are identifiable and minimized,
- technology is not used to distort public opinion.
