Domain Selection
• Domain: Cybersecurity
• Explanation: Threat detection is crucial in cybersecurity to identify, analyze, and
prevent malicious activities such as unauthorized access, malware infections,
phishing, or denial-of-service attacks.
• Applications:
o Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS)
o Malware detection
o Network traffic analysis
o Behavioural anomaly detection
o Fraud detection in financial systems
2. Problem Definition- Threat Detection Using ML
• Problem Statement: How can we design and implement a robust system that
detects and mitigates threats effectively, ensuring minimal false positives and
negatives in real-time scenarios?
• Key Challenges:
o Handling large-scale, real-time data.
o Adapting to new and evolving threats.
o Balancing detection accuracy and computational efficiency.
o Ensuring scalability for complex systems.
• Specific Example: Detecting advanced persistent threats (APTs) in network traffic
using machine learning models.
3. Literature Survey
• Purpose: To study existing methods, algorithms, and tools for threat detection
and identify gaps for innovation.
• Key Topics to Review:
o Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS): Signature-based vs. Anomaly-based
approaches.
o Machine learning algorithms in threat detection: Random Forest, SVM,
Neural Networks, etc.
o Deep learning applications: Autoencoders, RNNs, CNNs.
o Threat intelligence platforms and frameworks.
o Comparative studies of tools like Snort, Suricata, and Zeek.
• Resources:
o Research papers from IEEE Xplore, Springer, and ACM.
o Books: "Cybersecurity: Attack and Defense Strategies" by Yuri Diogenes
and Erdal Ozkaya.
o Online tutorials or MOOCs: Coursera, edX.
• Research Gap Identification: Look for areas where existing systems fail (e.g.,
high false positives in anomaly-based detection).
