ecosystems. On balance, it is possible to state that intelligent phishing detection is not only a technological dump
but also a corporate necessity that will underpin proactive, adaptive, and customer-centric cybersecurity
approaches to the sustainable development of digital banking.
CONCLUSION
This paper analyzed intelligent methods of protecting e-banking platforms against phishing sites, and the paper
has particularly compared the performance of the algorithms in various measures. The key conclusions
demonstrate that phishing is a significant threat to cybersecurity of digital banking, and it is necessary to use
sophisticated detection tools to protect valuable financial data. The findings revealed that Support Vector
Machines (SVM) offered moderate performance in detection and thus not suitable in the complex phishing
patterns. Random Forest and Neural Networks have better results and they are more accurate and reliable.
XGBoost showed high detection power, in terms of efficiency and scalability. However, most importantly,
Hybrid models were consistently able to achieve better results than all the other metrics, which include accuracy,
precision, recall, F1-score, and AUC, which means that the combination of a set of algorithms provides a greater
degree of robustness and flexibility to adapt to changing phishing methods. The result of these findings is that
smart methods of detection, especially the ensemble and the hybrid-based systems, are very effective to deal
with the phishing threats in e-banking. They can trade false positives and false negatives and therefore are viable
in real world banking applications where reliability and user confidence are of the essence. With sophisticated
machine learning methods, banks will be in a position to attain proactive defenses against phishing, and, thus,
diminish risk of fraud, decrease cost, and strengthen consumer trust in online services. Based on these
observations, a number of recommendations can be given. In a bid to be fully protected against phishing, banks
ought to invest in the deployment of intelligent hybrid detection systems in their security systems. Regulatory
frameworks need to be designed to promote the use of AI-driven cybersecurity, and policymakers need to ensure
that the requirements of detecting data are standardized in all financial institutions to promote the wider digital
economy. It is recommended that software developers should focus on adaptive and scalable models capable of
learning in real time the new emerging patterns of phishing behaviors to be resistant to the new cyber threats.
Cooperation among regulators, developers and banks will play a fundamental role in enhancing a safe and
reliable digital banking experience. In the future, it is possible to focus on a variety of directions to enhance
phishing detection. To begin with, real time detection features must be highlighted to stop the phishing attempts
prior to their accomplishment. Second, generalizability of models among global banking platforms can be
enhanced by using bigger and more varied datasets. Finally, yet importantly, adaptive learning models evolving
with phishing tricks will play a significant role in the long-term security. The combination of technological and
behavioral defenses in terms of combining intelligent detection with user education should also be explored by
research. Intelligent detection strategies are a revolutionary step in the security of e-banking. Through adoption
of hybrid models and adaptive approaches, banks will be able to build resilient systems that help not only
safeguard financial resources but also place digital banking on the road to the future, in a world of growing cyber
threats.
