Preemptive Cybersecurity: Utilizing Active Defense to Economically Disincentivize Phishing Attacks
Abstract – In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, traditional reactive measures are often insufficient to address the dynamic nature of cyber threats. This paper explores the concept of active defense, a preemptive approach to cybersecurity that seeks to deter attackers by making their efforts economically unsustainable. Specifically, we focus on the application of active defense strategies to combat phishing attacks, a prevalent and economically motivated form of cybercrime. By implementing measures that disrupt the profitability of phishing campaigns, such as cutting off traffic to phishing sites, we argue that attackers are compelled to abandon their efforts, thereby enhancing overall security. Through a comprehensive analysis of the economics of phishing, the effectiveness of a novel preemptive mitigation technique, and current trends in active defense, this paper provides insights into how economic disincentives can be leveraged to reduce the incidence of phishing attacks. Our findings suggest that a preemptive, economically focused approach to cybersecurity can significantly impact the decision-making process of attackers, leading to a decrease in phishing activities and contributing to a safer cyber environment.
Securing AI: The High and Lows of Minority Report becoming real
As the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to grow in the field of cybersecurity, there has been a significant increase in the application of AI-based threat intelligence. While this approach offers many benefits, such as improved accuracy and efficiency, there are also potential drawbacks and limitations that must be carefully considered. In this presentation, we will explore the highs and lows of AI-based threat intelligence, including its strengths, weaknesses, and the challenges that must be addressed to fully realize its potential in enhancing cybersecurity.
