Join IITB Trust Lab to develop a next-gen, FOSS-based Security Operations Center using Apache Kafka and ELK Stack for enhanced security monitoring. Contribute to rule-based and ML-powered anomaly detection in this impactful cybersecurity project.

Summer of Code

15th May - 15th July

This year, the Summer of Code initiative at Trust Lab turns its attention to enhancing open-source security infrastructure. Participants will be contributing to the development of a Free and Open Source Software (FOSS)-based Security Operations Centre (SOC).

The work involves leveraging tools like Apache Kafka and the ELK Stack, while exploring both rule-based and machine-learning powered anomaly detection techniques. More than just coding, this initiative is about building robust, scalable systems that will serve educational institutions and public organisations. For the students involved, it’s a chance to gain experience with enterprise-grade technologies while working on projects that align with national digital trust goals.
