Description
Cyber attacks are becoming a serious issue for most companies, losing millions due to constant business disruptions. What once was just a problem for a few, has now become a challenge for everyone, from large and small companies to personal email accounts.
Phishing is one of the main entry points for most of those cyber threats we face today, being used to deliver all kinds of malware or to trick employees into sharing sensitive information.
In this talk, we will show how we can use Deep Learning and image recognition to detect malicious urls that try to look like legitimate sites so that employees will perceive them as trustworthy and type in their credentials.
