Research interests
Akinola’s research is presently focused on using semantic-based techniques to model and describe security-related features of a computer network. This includes using ontology and advanced reasoning methods to characterise attack scenarios of how an attacker may leverage a network vulnerability in a complete system compromise.
Other research interest includes Cyber threat hunting, Penetration Testing, Threat Modelling, Attack Modelling, API Security, Identity and Access Management Systems and Progressive Web Applications.
