This paper offers a new approach to validation for IP address reputation (IPR) using dynamic signatures achieved through the application of machine learning (ML) to conduct an accurate detection of malicious IPs. The proposed solution connects to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Web Application Firewall (WAF) to improve security by deploying artificial intelligence (AI) models and natural language (NL) processing for automation of information extraction from IP-related information saved in the AWS object storages. All these lead to minimization of the number of false positives, real-time feedback, and optimization of IP reputation checking. The experimental outcome proves the capability of the proposed system to mitigate the IP address of the attacker and improve the protection of web applications against cybercrimes. This new approach is much advanced and a major leap ahead of other conventional IP reputation techniques, which offer a good protection shield against spam, DDoS, and other such evils.
