Abstract

Software applications are subject to an increasing number of attacks, resulting in data breaches and ﬁnancial damage. Many solutions have been considered to help mitigate these attacks, such as the integration of attack-awareness techniques. In this paper, we propose a taxonomy illustrating how existing attack awareness techniques can be integrated into applications. This work provides a guide for security researchers and developers, aiding them when choosing the approach which best ﬁts the needs of their application.
