Sentinel: Advanced Threat Detection System

Overview

A multinational corporation faced an escalating number of cyber threats, including unauthorized access attempts and sophisticated phishing attacks. To counter these challenges, I developed a custom machine-learning-based intrusion detection system (IDS) tailored to their unique network architecture.

Objective

• Create a proactive system to detect and mitigate threats in real-time.

• Reduce unauthorized access attempts by leveraging AI-driven threat analysis.

Approach

1. Analysis: Conducted a thorough audit of the existing security framework and identified critical vulnerabilities.

2. Design: Developed a machine-learning algorithm trained on historical threat data to identify anomalies.

3. Implementation: Integrated the IDS into the corporation’s network, ensuring seamless interaction with existing security tools.

4. Testing: Conducted penetration testing and simulations to fine-tune detection capabilities.

Results

• Reduced unauthorized access attempts by 80% within six months.

• Enhanced the network’s ability to detect and respond to emerging threats in real-time.

• Provided a user-friendly dashboard for IT administrators to monitor and address threats proactively.

Key Takeaways

This project demonstrated the power of machine learning in cybersecurity, offering a scalable solution adaptable to other industries.
