Protect your organization from next-generation threats with this comprehensive analysis of cognitive cybercrimes, addressing future legal, ethical, and policy challenges in the age of AI.

Cognitive Cyber Crimes in the Era of Artificial Intelligence explores the emerging dimension of cybercrime where artificial intelligence, neuroscience, and cryptography intersect. It introduces the concept of neurocryptic forensics, a novel framework for investigating AI-driven psychological manipulations, deepfake-induced fraud, cognitive hacking, and brainwave-targeted cyber-attacks. As digital threats evolve, cybercriminals are shifting from traditional hacking methods to exploiting human cognition. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of cognitive cybercrime techniques and equips readers with methodologies to detect, prevent, and mitigate such threats. It serves as a guide for researchers, cybersecurity professionals, forensic analysts, policymakers, and AI developers who aim to secure both digital infrastructures and human perception against next-generation cyber threats.
