AI-Powered Phishing Detection Systems: Challenges and Innovations

Abstract

Phishing attacks remain a significant threat to cybersecurity, accounting for a substantial portion of security breaches worldwide. These attacks target individuals and organizations by manipulating victims into divulging sensitive information, often leading to severe financial and reputational losses. With the growing sophistication of phishing tactics, traditional detection methods struggle to keep up. This paper explores the role of AI-powered phishing detection systems in countering this evolving threat. It discusses the underlying technologies, challenges in deployment, and recent innovations that enhance detection accuracy, while providing insights into the limitations and potential future developments in the field.
