Introduction:
Phishing attacks have become increasingly sophisticated and prevalent in recent years, posing a significant threat to individuals and organizations alike. Traditional methods of detecting phishing attempts, such as rule-based systems and manual inspection, are no longer sufficient to combat these threats effectively. As a result, there has been a growing interest in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) powered tools for phishing detection.
This thesis aims to evaluate the effectiveness of AI-powered phishing detection tools in identifying and mitigating phishing attacks. By leveraging machine learning algorithms and data analytics, these tools can analyze large volumes of data to detect patterns and anomalies indicative of phishing attempts. The potential benefits of using AI in phishing detection include increased accuracy, faster response times, and the ability to adapt to evolving attack techniques.
