http://www.hw.ac.uk/industry/collaborate-with-us/converge-challenge.htmThe project now focuses on generating health (or risk) scores for the evaluation of trust networks, such as within affiliate networks. This includes the development of a number of new products including an APR scanner, and a data leakage analyser, and which can integrate into a risk platform which scans for a number of risks within Web infrastructures, such as for broken links, broken images, malicious scripts, and so on.
