Threat intelligence feed visualizer
Why Choose This Project
Organizations constantly face emerging cyber threats, from phishing attacks to malware campaigns and zero-day exploits. Threat intelligence feeds provide real-time data about these threats, but raw feeds are often complex and difficult to interpret. This project creates a visual platform that aggregates multiple threat intelligence feeds, analyzes the data, and presents actionable insights through intuitive dashboards. It helps security teams detect trends, prioritize threats, and respond proactively.
What You Get
A web-based platform that collects threat intelligence feeds from multiple sources (open-source or commercial), normalizes the data, and visualizes it using charts, graphs, and heatmaps. Administrators can filter by threat type, severity, or source, track trends over time, and export reports. This system enhances situational awareness and supports proactive cybersecurity decision-making.
