Sarah Delphey, VP of Trust Solutions at Numeracle will open a discussion with Brad Reaves, Assistant Professor in the North Carolina State University Department of Computer Science on his department’s research into illegal call activity and their latest paper on the analysis of language captured from honeypot audio to improve our understanding of illegal call campaigns. Join us to learn more about those findings, how we can improve our responses to fraud, and the role of research in answering unanswered questions in fraud mitigation.

With a decade of experience in risk mitigation and customer policy creation, Sarah is an industry expert in trust solutions through her enhanced Know Your Customer (KYC) toolsets to drive digital identity innovation to enhance trust in customer communications. She works with enterprises, carriers, service providers, and industry organizations to find and build scalable solutions for validating identity in communications.
Sarah has a rich background leading fraud and risk teams in driving overall fraud and risk management strategies and customer lifecycle management. Through her leadership on these teams, she helped create and manage usage policies and implementation strategies to ensure legal and ethical services to ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations while promoting customer growth and innovation. Her work in support of the delivery of compliant traffic to minimize scam/spam or non-compliant messaging traffic and efforts to build trusted voice solutions give her the expertise to recommend KYC best practices for identity vetting and call authentication.

Brad is a computer security researcher and educator. His research has regularly received prestigious recognitions, including the NSF CAREER award, the 2020 Internet Defense Prize, five best paper awards, and three patents. Most importantly, his work has real-world impact including disclosures of dozens of software vulnerabilities, deployments of telephone fraud detection in commercial networks, influencing international policy on mobile money, creating awareness of pervasive public leaks of software secrets, and communicating my research to the public through national media exposure.
His research broadly seeks to identify, characterize, and confront the root causes of the most prominent and visible problems in computer security. Brad is best known for my unique emphasis on cellular and telephone network security, but his work spans multiple areas of computing security: cellular and telephone networks, software ecosystems, local networks, and communicating security information to humans.
