Abstract: Rogue websites have become one of the most important means of cyberattack, such as phishing, malware distribution, credential theft, and ransomware attacks. Cybersecurity has become a serious issue in the age of Industry 4.0, when corporations become more and more dependent on networked digital platforms and cloud-based services. Conventional URL filtering systems, based on static blacklists and rule-based systems are not able to see zero-day threats and newly created malicious domains. To address these shortcomings, we believe in an Advanced URL Scanner which carries out real-time, multi-layered security scanning of the web URLs. The system combines threat intelligence services, validation of SSL certificate, tracking of redirect chain and analysis of IP geolocation. The system also has AIs that analyze the webpage content to detect phishing schemes and malicious activities. The backend system is built on top of node.js and express and the front-end dashboard is developed on top of react.js to provide real-time analytics view. Experimental test shows that the system has a high detection rate and low processing latency, which makes it appropriate to reinforce cybersecurity systems in Industry 4.0 digital spaces.
