Ask for Cybersecurity final project ideas!

Hi everyone,

I'm an InfoSec student looking for a graduation project idea. I checked past projects at my school, and they mostly fall into these categories:

  • AI/ML combined with IDS/SIEM (Suricata , Snort, Wazuh, ELK)
  • Honeypots & Phishing/Deepfake detection
  • Web Application Firewalls (WAF) & Fuzzing

While these are great , I really want to explore other areas and would love to hear your ideas and suggestions !

Are there any topics or real-world problems you think I should look into?

Thanks a lot!

Build a detection engineering project, take one real attack and write both the detections and the analyst runbook for it, that combo is rarer than another ML IDS and signals you think like a defender. Base it on real artifacts instead of synthetic data, the investigation challenges on CyberDefenders are an easy source to pull a scenario from. Make the documented writeup itself the deliverable.
