Abstract
In some implementations, a user device may detect a communication associated with the user device and a user. The user device may analyze, using a machine learning model, a context of the communication to determine a risk score associated with the communication, the risk score indicating a likelihood that the communication is associated with a fraudulent actor attempting to solicit sensitive information from the user. The user device may monitor the communication to identify a trigger in the communication that indicates that sensitive information is to be shared, wherein monitoring the communication includes performing one or more operations to secure the communication based on the risk score satisfying one or more thresholds. The user device may detect, based on monitoring the communication, a portion of the communication that includes the sensitive information. The user device may obfuscate the portion of the communication.
