Year 4 Student - 2019 intake - Cohort 1 My research revolves around threat detection, cyber incident response, and forensics. Nowadays, cyber-attacks are getting more frequent and complex; as a result, more sophisticated analysis is required to identify and analyse such attacks. My research involves both human and technical aspects in providing a better identification & explanation of the intrusion. |
