SMU Data Science Review

Today, there is an increased risk to data privacy and information security due to cyberattacks that compromise data reliability and accessibility. New machine learning models are needed to detect and prevent these cyberattacks. One application of these models is cybersecurity threat detection and prevention systems that can create a baseline of a network's traffic patterns to detect anomalies without needing pre-labeled data; thus, enabling the identification of abnormal network events as threats. This research explored algorithms that can help automate anomaly detection on an enterprise network using Canadian Institute for Cybersecurity data. This study demonstrates that Neural Networks with Bayesian …

SMU Data Science Review

Phishing emails are a primary mode of entry for attackers into an organization. A successful phishing attempt leads to unauthorized access to sensitive information and systems. However, automatically identifying phishing emails is often difficult since many phishing emails have composite features such as body text and metadata that are nearly indistinguishable from valid emails. This paper presents a novel machine learning-based framework, the DARTH framework, that characterizes and combines multiple models, with one model for each composite feature, that enables the accurate identification of phishing emails. The framework analyses each composite feature independently utilizing a multi-faceted approach using Natural Language …
