Computer security is a truly interdisciplinary field, which requires strong knowledge of systems, networks and software. A popular security design principle recommends always securing the weakest link. In the vulnerability chain of computing systems, the weakest link can be either at the system level, or the application level or the network level. So it is essential to investigate how these different layers interact and can impact the overall system security. In this regard our interests lie in the development of integrated approaches that provide strong and resilient security solutions.<\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-11","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca\/isot\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca\/isot\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca\/isot\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca\/isot\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17669"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca\/isot\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11"}],"version-history":[{"count":50,"href":"https:\/\/onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca\/isot\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":723,"href":"https:\/\/onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca\/isot\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11\/revisions\/723"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca\/isot\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
