ASED-EDGE

Abstract

The goal of the Active Social Engineering Defense (ASED) program was to automatically identify, disrupt, and investigate spear-phishing and social engineering attacks. The core technology developed in this program was the capability to automatically elicit information from a malicious adversary to identify, disrupt, and investigate social engineering attacks. ASED attempted to do this by mediating communications between users and potential attackers with bots that actively detect attacks and coordinate investigations to discover the identity of the attacker.
