Cybersecurity Beyond Code: Attacking Intelligence Itself – A New Era Where Behavior Becomes the Target

Cybersecurity is no longer about code. Systems are not being broken they are being guided. Decisions are not being forced they are being shaped. And the most dangerous attacks are the ones no system detects, no alert flags, and no team responds to. In Cybersecurity Beyond Code, Pranav Bhatnagar exposes a new layer of conflict where intelligence itself becomes the target. From AI-driven perception manipulation to behavioral influence across systems, this book reveals how modern attacks operate without intrusion yet still control outcomes. Because the future of cybersecurity is not about protecting systems. It is about protecting what systems believe.
