In an era dominated by digital advancements, cybersecurity plays a pivotal role in safeguarding information and systems from evolving threats. The escalating sophistication of cyber threats necessitates a critical examination of the efficacy of contemporary defenses. Recognizing the limitations and gaps in current solutions, this research introduces a pioneering framework aimed at fortifying cyber defenses. Motivated by a comprehensive exploration of research articles, surveys, online media, and practical studies, this study scrutinizes the intricacies of cyber threats and assesses the strengths and weaknesses of existing solutions. The proposed frameworks emerge from a meticulous feasibility and practicality study, leveraging insights garnered from diverse online sources. The 'how' encompasses a comparative analysis, evaluating the novel framework against established solutions to delineate their respective merits and shortcomings. The impetus behind this research lies in offering valuable insights to researchers, practitioners, and policymakers grappling with the multifaceted challenges of cybersecurity. By navigating through the complexities of existing solutions and introducing innovative frameworks, this paper aims to guide efforts in bolstering cyber defenses. Ultimately, this research envisions a continuous cycle of improvement and evolution in the realm of cybersecurity, as stakeholders collectively strive to adapt to the ever-changing digital threat landscape.
