ShieldNet: An Intelligent Network Security and Threat Detection System

ShieldNet is an integrated cybersecurity system designed to provide real-time network protection through continuous monitoring and threat detection. The project focuses on identifying malicious activities such as unauthorized access, open-port vulnerabilities, and malware threats within a network. The system combines multiple security mechanisms including intrusion detection, port scanning, and malware analysis into a unified framework. ShieldNet emphasizes proactive defense by alerting administrators to potential threats and enabling timely mitigation. The prototype demonstrates efficient threat monitoring and secure access control, with scope for future enhancements using intelligent detection techniques.
