AILA
Artificial Intelligence-driven Framework and Legal Advice Tools for Phishing Prevention and Mitigation in Information Systems
The project
Suggest an anti-phishing user model that will consist of human, technology and legal factor, aiming to model the phishing cybercrime from multiple perspectives.
Phishing cyberattacks are one of the most important security threats in modern Information Systems causing different levels of damages to end-users and service providers such as financial and reputational losses. Phishing refers to Social Engineering practices, either by email, phone calls, or social media and text messages, pretending to be from trusted service providers to induce end-users to reveal personal information, such as passwords, pin codes and credit card numbers. State-of-the-art anti-phishing research is highly fragmented and monolithic and does not address the problem from a multidisciplinary perspective.
The originality of AILA is derived from the combination of the principles applied to Social and Law Sciences with technologies provided by Information Science and Cyber Security. Through the synergy of leading academic experts, we anticipate providing to diverse business domains e.g., e-banking, e-government, e-education) a comprehensive multidisciplinary anti-phishing framework that will be open source and will provide groundbreaking advances in the delivery of personalised anti-phishing legal advice and guidance to specific high-risk users/employees, thus increasing sustainability of on-line business models and operations.
The project, funded by the H.F.R.I.-Hellenic Foundation of Research and Innovation, falls within the thematic area of “Social Sciences, Arts & Humanities, Management & Economic Innovation” and in the thematic field of “Development of Innovative Applications and Sustainable Business Models”, since the project revolve around the development of an innovative multidisciplinary framework that will address phishing cyberattacks, thus providing groundbreaking opportunities to increase sustainability of business operations in several domains like e-banking, e-government, and e-education.
