AnaVation, LLC — Department of Homeland Security SBIR Phase I: H-SB017.1-003

Description

AnaVation is proposing the development of two systems designed to solve the challenge of government to outside and government to government spoofing respectively, both of which would be integrated into a Comprehensive Investigate Dashboard to provide organizations with an expansive view into the types and frequencies of call spoofing attempts. The first system would be an on top, out of band solution that would enable reactive event-driven detection and notification of government to outside call spoofing. The second system would be a multi-factor authentication solution that, in the case of government to government call spoofing, would enable employees to vet communications to uncover malicious spoofing attempts and thus take action to cease communications before sensitive information could be conveyed and/or compromising actions undertaken. A key distinction between the two systems is while the first system is fully automated, the second requires human interaction and training.
