Technology topic
Cybersecurity and Authentication (CA)
The Cybersecurity and Authentication topic focuses on innovations related to the security and integrity of data and data processing and the authentication of people and devices. These subtopic areas are meant to serve as examples; all proposals with technical innovation and significant commercial potential are welcome, regardless of the specific area of focus of the project.
Subtopics are not aimed at supporting or conducting clinical trials, clinical efficacy or safety studies, the development pre-clinical or clinical-stage drug candidates or medical devices, or work performed primarily for regulatory purposes. Limited studies with human subjects may be acceptable to the extent that they are performed in support of feasibility, such as proof-of-concept studies of early-stage technologies. Proposals that request support for clinical studies will be deemed noncompliant with the SBIR/STTR solicitations and returned without review.

Monitoring internal and external network performance - ThousandEyes
Mohit Lad, CEO & Co-Founder of ThousandEyes
“The grants we received from NSF were instrumental in bootstrapping ThousandEyes and allowing us to focus on building the first version of our product and acquiring customers. By the time we raised our series A from Sequoia capital, we had a handful of well-known brands as customers with annual bookings of more than $250k, i.e. real revenue. Thanks to NSF, we were on our way to commercializing our technology.” -Mohit Lad, CEO & Co-Founder of ThousandEyes, a network intelligence platform for businesses, was founded by Lad and Ricardo Oliviera in 2010. In 2018, they have 220 employees and have raised nearly $110 million.
ThousandEyes delivers Network Intelligence—performance visibility and actionable insights on digital experience for every user and application over any network. It arms network engineers, operations teams, support/service desk staff, developers, and even business users with an accurate, up-to-the-moment understanding of the link between application delivery and underlying network dependencies and behaviors– both inside and outside the organization.
ThousandEyes' patented Path Visualization provides detailed hop-by-hop visibility and performance metrics from any network, even if it's outside your enterprise boundaries. A global inference engine correlates multiple streams of data and visually pinpoints the location of outages (shown as red circles), and provides additional contextual information about the specific location.
