Abstract

Today threat landscape evolving at the rapid rate with many organization continuously face complex and malicious cyber threats. Cybercriminal equipped by better skill, organized and well-funded than before. Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) has become a hot topic and being under consideration for many organization to counter the rise of cyber-attacks. The aim of this paper is to review the existing research related to CTI. Through the literature review process, the most basic question of what CTI is examines by comparing existing definitions to find common ground or disagreements. It is found that both organization and vendors lack a complete understanding of what information is considered to be CTI, hence more research is needed in order to define CTI. This paper also identified current CTI product and services that include threat intelligence data feeds, threat intelligence standards and tools that being used in CTI. There is an effort by specific industry to shared only relevance threat intelligence data feeds such as Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Center (FS-ISAC) that collaborate on critical security threats facing by global financial services sector only. While research and development center such as MITRE working in developing a standards format (e.g.; STIX, TAXII, CybOX) for threat intelligence sharing to solve interoperability issue between threat sharing peers. Based on the review for CTI definition, standards and tools, this paper identifies four research challenges in cyber threat intelligence and analyses contemporary work carried out in each. With an organization flooded with voluminous of threat data, the requirement for qualified threat data analyst to fully utilize CTI and turn the data into actionable intelligence become more important than ever. The data quality is not a new issue but with the growing adoption of CTI, further research in this area is needed.

Abstract

The escalation of digital threats has made phishing-site identification a critical aspect of online protection. This study investigates how systematic hyperparameter adjustment through grid search influences both predictive precision and computational efficiency in phishing detection. Nine supervised classifiers from different algorithmic families were analyzed: tree-based models (DT, RF, GB, XGBoost), margin and distance-based learners (SVM, k-NN), probabilistic and neural approaches (NB, MLP), and a linear baseline using logistic regression (LR). Although machine learning (ML) approaches have demonstrated strong predictive capability, their reliability largely depends on precise parameter calibration. Through systematic exploration of parameter combinations, the grid-search approach identifies optimal settings for each model. Using the Kaggle phishing-URL dataset, tuned models achieved noticeable accuracy gains. DT, RF, and k-NN reached 99.1% accuracy with training times of 0.10 s, 1.55 s, and 0.01 s, respectively. MLP yielded 99.0% accuracy but required 2758 s, while SVM and LR achieved 97.8% and 92.9%. NB did the worst (62.7%). The results indicate that careful hyperparameter optimization enhances predictive ability, whereas model complexity heavily impacts runtime. This study’s novelty lies in a balanced assessment of accuracy and efficiency trade-offs, offering guidelines for selecting computationally efficient algorithms in practical phishing-detection systems.
