The University of Glamorgan is to study cyberattacks based on Advanced Evasion Techniques (AETs) as part of a new partnership with Finnish security company Stonesoft. Stonesoft claims AETs are regularly being used to attack servers in ways that firewalls and intrusion detection systems usually can’t detect let alone stop. The Welsh university’s Faculty of Advanced Technology will use Stonesoft’s anti-evasion testing tool to conduct “field research” in a lab environment. The AET hypothesis has gained some credibility among security experts more generally.”]
