Development of a Lightweight Data Collection and Threat Detection Platform for Cybersecurity Applications

The client requires a comprehensive cybersecurity solution capable of collecting and analyzing user activity logs to detect malicious or suspicious events. The solution must be lightweight, performant across multiple operating systems, and compliant with various industry regulations. In addition, the client lacks in-house expertise for designing secure architecture, developing security-sensitive components like drivers, and ensuring compliance with legal standards, necessitating external specialized support.

A mid-sized software vendor specializing in cybersecurity solutions, aiming to develop a scalable and secure platform that identifies suspicious user activities and integrates seamlessly with existing enterprise systems.

• Design and develop a minimum viable product (MVP) that efficiently collects and analyzes user activity data to identify suspicious behaviors.
• Implement core functionalities including log collection, suspicious event detection, and automated alerting for administrators.
• Ensure data security through encryption, role-based access controls, and secure development practices.
• Build a lightweight, multi-OS compatible client agent that operates seamlessly without disrupting end-user workflows.
• Expand the initial MVP into a full-fledged platform with additional features such as driver support, extensive integrations, and licensing options, supporting scalable deployment.
• Provide ongoing support, security testing, and maintenance services to ensure platform reliability and compliance with industry standards.

• Data collection module for logging user actions across different operating systems
• Real-time detection and identification of suspicious or abnormal activities
• Automated alert system to notify administrators of potential threats
• Secure data storage with encryption and role-based permissions
• Development of robust agents with minimal system impact
• Secure software architecture adhering to industry and legal standards
• Mechanisms for driver development to support new functionalities at the kernel level
• Integration capabilities with SIEM systems and other external security tools
• Flexible licensing and deployment options for various customer needs

• SIEM platforms for centralized security event management
• Third-party authentication and licensing systems
• Operating system native modules for driver support
• Legal and compliance databases for regulatory adherence

• High security standards including encryption and role controls
• Lightweight design to optimize performance and user experience
• Multi-OS compatibility for Windows, Linux, and macOS
• Efficient log processing capable of handling large volumes with minimal latency
• Scalable architecture supporting growth from MVP to full platform

The deployment of this cybersecurity platform is expected to enhance threat detection capabilities, improve response times through automated alerts, and enable secure, compliant operations across multiple regions. It aims to provide a reliable, scalable solution that reduces risks associated with suspicious user activities, facilitates seamless integrations, and supports future feature expansion, ultimately increasing market competitiveness and customer trust.
