PANACEA is a DARPA Active Social Engineering Defense (ASED) project on Detecting and Defending against Social Engineering Attacks in different communication channels such as Email, SMS, and LinkedIn. The project consists of more than 150 professors, researchers, scholars, government, and NASA JPL representatives. It includes several hackathons and evaluations in which all the performers should deploy and assess their systems against not only state-of-the-art attacks but also new intelligent attacks generated by other teams.
