Security Monitoring Dashboard
Real-Time Threat Detection Platform
Project Overview
Developed a centralized security monitoring solution that aggregates logs and security events from multiple sources across a healthcare organization's infrastructure. The dashboard provides real-time visibility into security posture and enables rapid incident response.
The Challenge
The organization had security tools deployed across multiple locations but lacked centralized visibility. Security analysts were spending hours manually correlating events from different sources. Incident response times were slow, averaging 2-3 hours for critical alerts. The organization needed HIPAA-compliant monitoring with automated alerting.
The Solution
I designed and built a comprehensive SIEM solution using Splunk as the core platform, with custom Python scripts for log parsing and enrichment. The solution includes automated correlation rules, machine learning-based anomaly detection, and integration with ticketing systems for incident management. Custom Grafana dashboards provide real-time visibility for different stakeholder groups.
