Overview
This project combines artificial intelligence with cybersecurity to create an intelligent security scanning system that learns from historical vulnerability data and adapts to new threat patterns.
Key Features
- Real-time Threat Detection: ML models analyze code and network traffic in real-time
- Adaptive Learning: System improves accuracy by learning from new vulnerabilities
- Multi-Vector Analysis: Scans for OWASP Top 10, injection attacks, and zero-days
- API Integration: RESTful API for easy integration with CI/CD pipelines
Technical Architecture
The system is built with a microservices architecture:
- Scanning Engine (Python + TensorFlow): Core ML models for threat detection
- API Layer (FastAPI): High-performance API for scan requests
- Database (PostgreSQL): Stores vulnerability signatures and scan results
- Frontend Dashboard (React + TypeScript): Real-time monitoring interface
Machine Learning Approach
We trained custom models on a dataset of 100,000+ known vulnerabilities, using:
- Transformer models for code analysis
- CNN-based pattern recognition for binary analysis
- Ensemble methods for improved accuracy
Results
- 95% detection accuracy on known vulnerabilities
- Sub-second scan times for most codebases
- 40% reduction in false positives compared to traditional scanners
Future Enhancements
- Integration with popular IDEs (VS Code, JetBrains)
- Support for more programming languages
- Automated remediation suggestions
- Cloud-native deployment options
