Abstract

This paper introduces cognitive adaptivity as a novel framework for addressing human factors in cybersecurity during the Industry 5.0-6.0 transition, with a focus on hard-to-abate industries where digital transformation intersects sustainability constraints. While the integration of IoT, automation, digital twins, and artificial intelligence expands industrial efficiency, it simultaneously exposes organizations to increasingly sophisticated social engineering and AI-powered attack vectors. Traditional resilience-based models, centered on recovery to baseline, prove insufficient in these dynamic socio-technical ecosystems. We propose cognitive adaptivity as an advancement beyond resilience and antifragility, defined by three interrelated dimensions: learning, anticipation, and human-AI co-evolution. Through an in-depth case study of the ceramic value chain, this research develops a conceptual model demonstrating how organizations can embed trust calibration, behavioral evolution, sustainability integration, and systemic antifragility into their cybersecurity strategies. The findings highlight that effective protection in Industry 6.0 environments requires continuous behavioral adaptation and collaborative intelligence rather than static controls. This study contributes to cybersecurity literature by positioning cognitive adaptivity as a socio-technical capability that redefines the human-AI interface in industrial security. Practically, it shows how organizations in hard-to-abate sectors can align cybersecurity governance with sustainability imperatives and regulatory frameworks such as the CSRD, turning security from a compliance burden into a strategic enabler of resilience, competitiveness, and responsible digital transformation.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2026-04-15:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 47.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 41 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 9.
  • The number of mentions in news outlets: 1 (Altmetric).

It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:

  • The work has been submitted to a journal whose editorial policy allows open Open Access publication.
