Design And Implementation Of A Real-Time Threat Detection Dashboard Using Open-Source Tools

The way networks work is changing fast, and that means we are more open to Cybersecurity threats. Old security systems do not work well together. They do not give us a clear picture of what is happening right now. This paper is about the design and implementation of a Real- Time Threat Detection Dashboard. This dashboard uses open-source tools to keep an eye on network threats all the time, analyze them, and show them in a way that is easy to understand. The system uses Suricata to detect intrusions, Nmap to find assets, and a web-based dashboard built using Flask and React. This framework lets us process security events in time and gives us useful information through visual analytics. We tested the system in a controlled environment. It worked well, detecting and showing threats with very little delay.
