QuantShield - AI Based Threat Detection Platform

An intelligent threat detection system for identifying phishing emails and malicious URLs.

QuantShield is an intelligent cybersecurity platform designed to detect phishing emails and malicious URLs using machine learning. The system combines trained classification models with a modern web interface to provide real-time threat analysis, risk assessment, and detailed detection reports.

Overview

Cyber threats such as phishing campaigns and malicious websites continue to be among the most common attack vectors. ThreatLensAI helps users identify and analyze suspicious emails and URLs by leveraging machine learning models trained on labeled security datasets.

The platform provides fast and reliable threat detection through an interactive web application, enabling users to assess potential risks before interacting with suspicious content.

Features

• Phishing email detection using machine learning
• Malicious URL classification and risk assessment
• Real-time threat analysis
• Confidence-based prediction scores
• Interactive dashboard for analysis and monitoring
• RESTful API for model inference
• Performance tracking and evaluation tools
