What is the primary goal of phishing infrastructure detection?

The primary goal of phishing infrastructure detection is to prevent credential theft and malicious activities. Phishing attacks often involve the use of deceptive emails and websites that trick users into providing sensitive information, such as passwords and personal identification details. By detecting the infrastructure that supports these phishing attempts—like fraudulent domains or IP addresses—organizations can take proactive measures to block and mitigate these threats before they reach users. This is crucial for maintaining the security of user credentials and protecting against various malicious activities that could lead to data breaches, financial loss, or other forms of cybercrime.

Enhancing user experience during browsing, increasing network speed and efficiency, and monitoring employee internet usage, while important in their own right, do not directly target the prevention of phishing and credential theft. They are more aligned with user productivity and network management rather than with the primary security focus of identifying and mitigating phishing threats.
