Dashboard for Cyber Situation Assessment

Modern ICT and Operational Technology (OT) systems are becoming increasingly interconnected, which also makes them more vulnerable to cyber threats. To build a clear cyber situation picture, it is essential to know all assets, their connections, and their configurations.

This thesis focuses on designing an open-source dashboard application that collects, manages, and visualizes data from distributed scanning agents. The dashboard will store this information in a database to support further analysis and enable effective cyber situation assessment.

Student Target Groups:

  • Students of ICE/Telematics;
  • Students of Computer Science;
  • Students of Software Engineering.

Thesis Type:

  • Bachelor Thesis

Goal and Tasks:

The primary goal of this thesis is to study existing open-source dashboard platforms and adapt them to support a comprehensive cyber security situation picture. The dashboard should provide an overview of system components, communication channels, and data in use. This practical research will support the development of an asset-centric security approach, improving the ability to detect and respond to cyber threats.

  • Explore and evaluate existing open-source dashboard platforms.
  • Adapt a platform to provide a comprehensive overview of assets, communication channels, and data.
  • Design and implement APIs for data collection.
  • Create features for viewing and editing cyber situation data within the dashboard.
  • Present findings and conclusions in an oral presentation.

Recommended Prior Knowledge:

  • Basic knowledge of computer systems and networking.
  • Interest in the topic.

Start:

  • a.s.a.p.
