AI-Driven Phishing Email Detection: Leveraging Big Data Analytics for Enhanced Cybersecurity

Abstract

Big data analytics and AI are emerging technologies that can help businesses improve their email security. There is a wide range of research that implements big data analytics for email security, and phishing email detection is one dimension of email security. Therefore, the essay emphasizes the use of big data analytics and AI for developing real-time phishing email recognition. Our research demonstrates that a phishing email detection technique utilizing big-data technologies can be used to create a large-scale phishing email dataset, detect phishing emails, visualize additional features, and recognize phishing emails as soon as possible. Chapter 2 outlines present changes in the cybercrime landscape and the current situation of time and defense mechanisms for email security. Then, the concept of harnessing big data analytics and technologies to improve cybersecurity is discussed. In the third segment, an attempt is made to offer a comprehensive list of studies that have been conducted applying big-data analytics to email security and scrutinizing phishing email tactics or technologies for this type of cybercrime. In the final chapter, the implementation of a big-data-based technology utilizing Enron email traffic is highlighted.The essay discusses the application of big data analytics to designing a phishing email detection system in real time. Relevant studies are included in the content as well. Email security has become a chief concern for individuals and organizations. A cybercriminal can victimize anyone after proliferating a phishing email, and millions of phishing emails are distributed to millions of email traffic. With the continual and widespread proliferation of time, cybercriminals are using more sophisticated methods of attacking and have the capability to create more feature-rich phishing emails. This situation necessitates the use of technology to protect us from these methods. The precise recognition of phishing emails reduces their utilization, leading to decreased cybercrimes.
