Welcome to The Cognitive Crucible. I'm your host, John Bicknell. Each week, I will be examining aspects of our generational challenge: Cognitive Security. The Cognitive Crucible bridges the gap between military information operators, researchers, authors, and public policy makers.

For the foreseeable future, the global security landscape will be significantly impacted by the information environment. Through the potency and reach of worldwide social media and sister messaging platforms, both nation states and actors can achieve outcomes formerly restricted to traditional military and security methods.

Recognizing this reality, the mission of the Information Professionals Association is to provide a highest-level forum for information professional practitioners and scholars to interact, collaborate and develop #wholeofsociety or #wholeofgovernment solutions that enhance the cognitive security of the US and its allies.
