Advanced cybersecurity system for real-time phishing detection, account takeover fraud prevention, and software repository optimization using machine learning techniques

Abstract

Systems and processes are disclosed for enhancing cybersecurity and optimizing software repositories through integration of web crawling, web scraping, feature engineering, and advanced machine learning algorithms to detect phishing attempts, prevent account takeover fraud, and identify unused code in repositories. The system collects and refines data from various sources, including transaction logs, customer databases, device details, external data sources, and historical fraud data, to build comprehensive datasets. Feature engineering creates new, meaningful features from the refined data, which are used to train and evaluate machine learning models. The best-performing models are deployed in production to monitor incoming communications and transactions in real-time, flagging suspicious activities and optimizing codebases. This processing ensures timely detection and prevention of security threats while maintaining efficient software development processes. Robust protection is provided against evolving cyber threats and enhances software performance and security through continuous learning and adaptation.
