Identification and Reporting of Phishing Attacks in Cybersecurity

Abstract

In Saudi, there is a quick rise in cybersecurity demands coupled with an increase in phishing incidents coming out at an escalating rate, which makes it necessary to require a better comprehension of what motivates people to recognize report and eliminate these kinds of cyber-attacks. This study intends to address this gap by examining how awareness regarding cyberspace security, training, perceived security of phishing assault as well as trust over reporting channels affect reporting practices and behaviour. The research seeks to find out what motivates individuals to report phishing attacks using a combination of literature review, online survey, and data analysis. This study is important because it could help policymakers and key stakeholders to comprehend how individuals can be made aware of being more careful about cybercrime, as well as improve ways through which these crimes are reported while enabling both internet users and companies to respond quickly to phishing attacks. The exploration of inventive techniques and technologies in this research paper helps to enhance existing cybersecurity patterns and protect private information from evolving phishing attacks to ultimately benefit individuals, companies and governmental organizations in Saudi, Arabia and outside.
