Phishing is the fraudulent attempt to obtain sensitive information such as usernames, passwords and credit card details by disguising oneself as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. Typically carried out by email spoofing or instant messaging, it often directs users to enter personal information at a fake website which matches the look and feel of the legitimate site.

Ai-based cybersecurity system and method thereof

An AI-based Cybersecurity System and Method enable real-time detection, analysis, and mitigation of cyber threats within computing networks using adaptive artificial intelligence. The system continuously monitors network traffic, extracts behavioral and contextual attributes, and applies deep learning-based inference to identify anomalous activities indicating security breaches. The method integrates several computational units, including a network monitoring unit, feature extraction unit, artificial intelligence processor, contextual reasoning processor, and decision synthesis unit, to compute a composite risk index quantifying threat likelihood and severity. A classification processor categorizes detected threats into types such as ransomware, phishing, or unauthorized access, while a mitigation control processor initiates automated response actions to isolate compromised nodes and restore network integrity. An adaptive learning processor updates AI models using feedback from confirmed incidents. This provides a scalable, self-evolving cybersecurity framework that minimizes human intervention and enhances resilience against dynamic and zero-day threats.

Chatbot for Prevention of Online Fraud

In some embodiments, a fraud prevention system uses a chatbot agent to provide input to a threat analyzer. The chatbot agent converses with a user to identify a security need, guide the user into providing relevant data (e.g., a content of an email, a screenshot of a social media conversation), identify a target object for analysis, and indicate the target object to the threat analyzer. In turn, the threat analyzer applies a battery of tests to determine whether the target object is indicative of online fraud, such as a phishing attempt. The threat analyzer returns a verdict of the analysis to the chatbot agent for communication to the user.

Machine learning powered cloud sandbox for malware detection

A cloud-based network security system (NSS) is described. The NSS uses a sandbox to safely detonate and extract information about a document and uses machine learning algorithms to analyze the information to predict whether the document contains malicious software. Specifically, during the detonation, static and dynamic information about the document is captured in the sandbox as well as character strings from images in the document. The dynamic information (and sometimes the static information) is input to an AI or machine learning model trained to provide an output indicating a prediction of whether the document contains malware. The character strings are compared with a batch of phishing keywords to generate a heuristic score. A validation engine combines the output from the AI or machine learning model and the heuristic score to classify the document as malicious or clean. Security policies can then be applied based on the classification.
