Malicious payload detection is the process of identifying harmful content within digital files, emails, or data streams that could compromise a computer or network. These dangerous payloads may include viruses, worms, ransomware, or other forms of malware hidden inside attachments or downloads. The goal is to spot and block these threats before they can cause…

Security Awareness
Security awareness refers to the understanding and knowledge people have about potential security risks and how to protect information, systems, and themselves from threats. It involves recognising dangers such as phishing emails, weak passwords, and unsafe internet behaviour. Training in security awareness helps individuals and organisations reduce the chance of falling victim to cyber attacks…
Template Injection
Template injection is a security vulnerability that happens when user input is not properly filtered and is passed directly into a template engine. This allows attackers to inject and execute malicious code within the template, potentially exposing sensitive data or gaining unauthorised access. It often occurs in web applications that use server-side templates to generate…
Red Teaming
Red Teaming is a process where a group is assigned to challenge an organisation’s plans, systems or defences by thinking and acting like an adversary. The aim is to find weaknesses, vulnerabilities or blind spots that might be missed by the original team. This method helps organisations prepare for real threats by testing their assumptions…
Injection Mitigation
Injection mitigation refers to the techniques and strategies used to prevent attackers from inserting malicious code or data into computer systems, especially through user inputs. These attacks, often called injection attacks, can cause systems to behave in unintended ways, leak data, or become compromised. Common types of injection include SQL injection, command injection, and cross-site…
Application Hardening Techniques
Application hardening techniques are methods used to strengthen software against attacks or unauthorised changes. These techniques make it more difficult for hackers to exploit weaknesses by adding extra layers of security or removing unnecessary features. Common techniques include code obfuscation, limiting user permissions, and regularly updating software to fix vulnerabilities.
Adversarial Example Defense
Adversarial example defence refers to techniques and methods used to protect machine learning models from being tricked by deliberately altered inputs. These altered inputs, called adversarial examples, are designed to look normal to humans but cause the model to make mistakes. Defences help ensure the model remains accurate and reliable even when faced with such…
Adversarial Defense Strategy
An adversarial defence strategy is a set of methods used to protect machine learning models from attacks that try to trick them with misleading or purposely altered data. These attacks, known as adversarial attacks, can cause models to make incorrect decisions, which can be risky in important applications like security or healthcare. The goal of…
Deceptive Security Traps
Deceptive security traps are security measures designed to mislead attackers and detect unauthorised activity. These traps often mimic real systems, files, or data to attract attackers and study their behaviour. By interacting with these traps, attackers reveal their methods and intentions, allowing defenders to respond more effectively.
Economic Attack Vectors
Economic attack vectors are strategies or methods used to exploit weaknesses in financial systems, markets, or digital economies for personal gain or to disrupt operations. These weaknesses may involve manipulating prices, taking advantage of incentives, or exploiting system rules to extract unearned benefits. Attackers can impact anything from cryptocurrency networks to online marketplaces, causing financial…
