Abstract

Phishing attacks have become more sophisticated over time, causing a significant threat to both individuals and organizations globally. As attackers create new techniques, it's essential to stay ahead of the trend and invest in robust cybersecurity measures.

A promising approach is to leverage natural language processing (NLP) and deep learning techniques to create a cutting-edge detection system. This research aimed to do just that by analyzing current methods, identifying gaps, and introducing innovative solutions to improve phishing email detection accuracy. The NLP-based system has enormous potential in detecting deceiving content and neutralizing novel threats. To ensure its efficacy, it was subjected to rigorous testing and analysis, simulating real-world scenarios. This significantly contributed to the field of cybersecurity by strengthening defenses against phishing attacks and fostering a safer online environment for everyone. This is better than previous detection systems as it is more accurate, achieving an 84%accuracy.
