- This presents a novel approach to improving web application security called “attack awareness”. It has led to a cybersecurity research thread in embedding attack awareness into applications to improve security. We are developing workshops with a German software development company. We are creating a CPD module for industry, that will advise developers how they can incorporate attack awareness techniques, with funding for this module secured via the SFC’s Upskilling Fund.
