Abstract

The Internet, being a basic necessity, is at the tips of every individual and corporation today, many of whom possess malicious intentions. This has led to a surge in cyber threats which require robust cybersecurity solutions that are capable of detecting anomalies in real-time and taking the necessary actions. As such, this necessitates a system that can cope with this sheer volume and speed of data. To that end, Stream processing, particularly Apache Flink, has emerged as one solution for handling continuously evolving data in real-time. This research then proposes a custom architecture utilizing stream processing to ingest and process data from diverse sources to promptly detect and allow analysts to respond proactively. The architecture emphasizes scalability, reliability, and the ability to handle large volumes of data.
