Description

Phishing Attempt Detection uses AI to flag deceptive emails and webpages as likely phishing, enabling faster threat response and reduced exposure, by analysing content, URLs, and behavioural signals, across email and web channels.

Business Problem

Phishing attacks are growing in volume and sophistication, and traditional rule-based filters increasingly fail to catch novel deceptive messages and sites, leaving employees exposed to credential theft and malware delivery.

Solution

The AI analyses each inbound message or URL against learned phishing patterns and flags items that deviate from legitimate communication profiles, producing a threat label with an explainability trace for analyst review.

Expected Value

Reduces the rate of successful phishing incidents reaching end users, lowering phishing-related financial losses and incident-response costs per period.

Prerequisites
  • Representative labelled dataset of phishing and legitimate emails is available for model training or fine-tuning
  • Integration with the email gateway or proxy to intercept messages before delivery
  • Security team workflow supports analyst review of flagged items
