EDITH - A robust framework for prevention of cyber attacks in the covid era

ABSTRACT

In the era of cloud technology, all the emails sent from one person to another needs to be secure. Security attacks like email phishing, EBomb, DNS spoofing and so on have become a trend in this digital era. Among the said attacks, email phishing has been observed to be most common to be used by attackers to trap victims using fake email with embedded malwares, which is not made aware of non-cyber professionals. With the current pandemic that is Covid-19, which is storming the whole world and enforcing people all over to stay indoors, thus indirectly increasing the online digital footprints of all, so there's an increase in SMB(Server message block) port all over the world which is leading attackers to find their victims easily by unique, dynamic and various other vulnerabilities which no standard virus, malware detection software which was before being provided by the IT companies to its employees and for general internet users;have proven to be not that effective. so we propose a different approach along with a tool kit that will work in identifying the embedded malware files and fake websites more dynamically and effectively. © 2021 IEEE.
