AI-Based Phishing Detection and Automated Response: A Multi-Channel Security Framework for Modern Communication Platforms

Phishing attacks have evolved in sophistication over the changing digital communication landscape, taking advantage of several channels like social media, SMS, and email to trick people and businesses. This research offers a multi-channel security architecture for automated phishing response and detection that uses cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) technology to counteract this ubiquitous threat. The system utilizes automatic reaction mechanisms to mitigate threats in real time and incorporates state-of-the-art AI algorithms to improve the detection of phishing attempts across various communication channels. This study examines recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI) for cybersecurity, emphasizing the use of deep learning, machine learning, and natural language processing in phishing detection and response. It also looks at how phishing techniques have changed over time, how difficult it is to integrate AI across different platforms, and how dangerous it could be for AI systems to come under hostile attack. The report shows the usefulness and practical use of AI-driven solutions with case studies from social media, financial services, and enterprise communication platforms. It also discusses ethical and regulatory issues, highlighting the necessity of adhering to data protection regulations and using AI responsibly. The technological difficulties, potential avenues for future investigation, and prospects for innovation in AI-based phishing detection are covered in the paper's conclusion. With this methodology, cybersecurity researchers and practitioners can benefit from a thorough approach to improving cybersecurity with artificial intelligence.
