Abstract
The present invention is directed to systems and methods for enhancing electronic communication security. A communication transmitted over a communications network is received and tested by a collection engine to generate data associated with the received communication. An analysis engine analyzes the data generated by the collection engine along with data associated with previously received communications to whether an anomaly exists. If an anomaly exists with respect to the received communication, an action engine initiates a predetermined response.
