To combat this, the implementation of effective cybersecurity measures is essential. This paper investigates the current state of insider threats to banks in the U.S., the associated costs, and the potential measures that can be taken to mitigate this risk. The development of a framework for the adoption of cybersecurity measures within the banking industry is the primary emphasis in order to stop fraud and lessen financial losses. Through a detailed examination of the literature, in-depth interviews with experts in the banking sector, and case studies of existing cybersecurity measures, this paper provides a comprehensive overview of the problem and potential remedies. Analysis of the research reveals that identity and access management, data encryption, and secure authentication are key components of any cybersecurity strategy. Furthermore, it is recommended that banks increase their technical capabilities and improve their employee awareness and training. The study concludes with a series of suggestions for enhancing banking industry cybersecurity and eventually reducing the danger of insider attacks. This paper explores the topic of insider threats in the US banking industry and presents cybersecurity measures to prevent fraud. Insider threats from people with access to sensitive data and systems present serious hazards to the banking industry, resulting in monetary losses, reputational harm, and compromised data integrity.","PeriodicalId":38638,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advances in Soft Computing and its Applications","volume":"340 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135181400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The methods for predicting churn have been improved to a great extent by the remarkable developments in the word of artificial intelligence and machine learning. In this context, a comparative study of four machine learning models was conducted. The first phase consists of data preprocessing, followed by feature analysis. In the third phase, feature selection. Then, the data is split into the training set and the test set. During the prediction phase, some of the commonly used predictive models were adopted, namely k-nearest neighbor, logistic regression, random forest, and support vector machine. Furthermore, we used cross-validation on the training set for hyperparameter adjustment and for avoiding model overfitting. Next, the hyperparameters were adjusted to increase the models' performance. The results obtained on the test set were evaluated using the feature weights, confusion matrix, accuracy score, precision, recall, error rate, and f1 score.

In this work, contentbased techniques have been employed in the proposed recommender system in two ways, a deep review for content and features contents such as (cast, crew, keywords, and genres) has been conducted. A preprocessing stage using TF-IDF and CountVectorizer methods have been employed efficiently to prepare the dataset for any similarity measurements. Cosine similarity algorithm has been employed as well with and without sigmoid and linear kernals. The achieved result proves that similarities between movies using TF-IDF with - Cosine similarity (sigmoid kernel) overcomes the TF-IDF with - Cosine similarity (linear_kernel) and Cosine similarity with CountVectorizer in collaborative filtering.

We used a simulation application for I-Devices to conduct the experiment. The simulation was built based on classifying results using Logarithmic learning for Generalized Classifier Neural Networks (L-GCNN). The output was a simulation that will be implemented on a smart mosque system. L-GCNN itself was a modification method of GCNN to improve the processing speed and have high accuracy as a classifier method. This method will take a role when the given parameters meet the conditions of the devices to take an action. To simplify the understanding of the simulation models, we used a game application to make an interactive simulation for our project in an environment that represents the real-world condition of the mosque. The result of this study shows that the devices could make a decision by themselves accurately. Additionally, using LGCNN models, we could reduce the processing iteration compared to other models.

The proposed method reduces the computational time to find the optimum thresholds of multilevel thresholding which evaluated on several grayscale images. A detailed comparison analysis with other multilevel thresholding based techniques namely particle swarm optimization (PSO), iterative particle swarm optimization (IPSO), and genetic algorithms (GA), From the experiments, Modified particle swarm optimization (MoPSO) produces better performance compared to the other methods in terms of fitness value, robustness and convergence.
