Abstract

Cognitive warfare has transformed crisis communication by making public perception, institutional credibility, and decision-making capacity central targets within contested information environments. This study aimed to examine how strategic communication supports crisis governance, strengthens public trust, and calibrates threat perception under conditions of information manipulation and cognitive pressure. An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was employed, combining a survey of 420 adults, interviews with 24 professionals, and analysis of 96 official crisis communication materials. The findings showed that strategic communication quality, particularly transparency, consistency, evidence attribution, responsiveness, and acknowledgment of uncertainty, was positively associated with institutional trust and negatively associated with information uncertainty. Exposure to contested information was related to stronger threat perception, while cognitive resilience weakened the influence of repeated or emotionally charged narratives on threat judgments. Qualitative findings further indicated that trust was strengthened when institutions explained evidentiary changes, coordinated messages across agencies, and corrected information transparently. The study concludes that strategic communication should function as an integrated component of crisis governance rather than as post-decision messaging. Effective threat perception management requires perception calibration, not perception control, by combining credible information, transparent uncertainty management, institutional coordination, and citizen cognitive resilience within democratic communication systems during complex and rapidly evolving crises.

Abstract

Food, energy, and water scarcity increasingly threaten economic stability, social welfare, infrastructure reliability, and long-term national resilience because disruptions across these sectors are deeply interconnected. This study aimed to formulate an integrated framework for optimizing institutional and stakeholder roles in countering Food–Energy–Water scarcity threats and strengthening national resilience. A qualitative case-study design was employed through semi-structured interviews, policy and institutional document analysis, stakeholder-role mapping, Food–Energy–Water nexus assessment, and role-gap analysis. The findings revealed that fragmented governance, overlapping mandates, weak information sharing, and limited cross-sectoral coordination intensified resource vulnerabilities, while clearer role allocation and adaptive coordination improved institutional responsiveness. The analysis identified differentiated functions across prevention, preparedness, response, adaptation, and recovery, with national institutions providing strategic coordination, local authorities supporting implementation, research institutions supplying evidence and innovation, private actors strengthening infrastructure and production capacity, and communities contributing local adaptation and demand management. The study concludes that national resilience depends less on expanding institutional involvement than on aligning authority, capability, responsibility, and coordination across interconnected resource systems. The proposed framework contributes an adaptive governance model for managing cascading scarcity risks through role clarity, capability matching, integrated information, coordinated redundancy, and accountable interinstitutional action under increasingly complex and rapidly changing national resource-security conditions.

Abstract

Cloud-native computing has weakened the traditional network perimeter by distributing identities, workloads, applications, and data across dynamic infrastructures where successful login no longer guarantees continuing trust. This study develops and evaluates a continuous authentication framework for Zero Trust Architecture that dynamically reassesses trust throughout active sessions. A design science approach combined with controlled experimentation was employed using 1,200 authenticated sessions, including 800 legitimate and 400 adversarial scenarios involving token hijacking, session replay, privilege escalation, compromised devices, lateral movement, and anomalous API activity. The framework integrated identity confidence, behavioral consistency, device posture, contextual risk, workload telemetry, and resource sensitivity into adaptive trust scoring and graduated enforcement. Results showed that continuous authentication achieved a 93.0% detection rate, 91.9% precision, 93.0% recall, and a 92.4% F1-score, while reducing mean compromised-session exposure from 11.8 to 1.9 minutes. Moderate increases in latency and computational overhead remained operationally acceptable, and false-positive rates did not increase significantly. Improvements were strongest against post-authentication compromise and identity misuse. The study concludes that Zero Trust is more effectively implemented as a dynamic, revocable, and context-sensitive trust process than as repeated static authentication. Continuous authentication therefore provides a practical mechanism for protecting both human and machine identities in decentralized cloud-native environments.
