Topic Name:

AI powered solutions to enhance Cybersecurity operations
AI-SEC

Goal:

The goal of this project is to leverage AI-powered solutions to enhance cybersecurity operations by improving threat detection, automating responses, strengthening risk management, and fortifying user authentication through advanced behavioural analysis.c

Objectives:

  • Create AI models that analyze network traffic and system logs to identify patterns indicative of cyber threats in IT and OT environments.
  • Design a framework that integrates multiple real-time data sources from both IT and OT systems, enhancing threat visibility and context for better decision-making.
  • Define key performance indicators (KPIs) to evaluate the effectiveness of AI models in detecting and responding to cyber threats within IT/OT environments.
  • Conduct rigorous testing and validation of the developed AI models in simulated IT/OT environments to assess their accuracy, reliability, and practicality in real-world applications.

Challenges addressed:

Enhanced threat detection and prevention are essential for identifying advanced attacks in real time, utilizing AI and advanced analytics to proactively block malicious activities. This project hence addresses the below listed key challenges in safeguarding systems and data from evolving threats.

  • Enhanced Threat Detection and Prevention
  • Risk Assessment & Management
  • Automated Incident Response
  • Behavioural Analysis for User Authentication
