Proactive Phishing Threat Exposure Mitigation through Adaptive Vulnerability Management: Utilizing Threat Intelligence, User Behavior Analytics, and Predictive Analytics

Santosh Kumar Kande

Abstract: Phishing remains one of the most common and effective attack methods, compromising both individual users and corporate networks. Traditional defenses like email filters and user training often fail to address how phishing campaigns exploit known and emerging vulnerabilities. This paper introduces an adaptive framework that utilizes threat intelligence, user behavior analytics (UBA), and predictive analytics to dynamically prioritize and mitigate vulnerabilities exposed to phishing campaigns. By integrating phishing threat intelligence and UBA into vulnerability management and using machine learning for predictive risk scoring, this approach offers a real - time, proactive defense against phishing - based exploits.
