About the Bath Institute for Digital Security and Behaviour:
The Institute for Digital Security and Behaviour (IDSB) is a newly established research institute at the University of Bath.

The IDSB aims to address global security challenges through world-leading, interdisciplinary, socio-technical research that co-creates inclusive security solutions by adopting a “whole of society” approach.
