Data Engineering Paradigms for Real-Time Network Threat Detection: A Framework for Scalable Security Analytics (Published)
This article explores the critical intersection of data engineering and cybersecurity, focusing on architectural approaches for network threat detection at scale. As organizations face increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, traditional security tools struggle with the volume and velocity of network data. A comprehensive framework for building scalable data pipelines effectively ingests, processes, and analyzes network flow data for security monitoring. Event-driven architectures utilizing technologies such as Kafka for real-time data streaming, Flink for implementing complex detection logic, and ClickHouse for efficient storage and analysis demonstrate significant advantages. The inherent challenges of high-throughput data processing while maintaining detection accuracy include considerations for data governance, compliance requirements, and integration with existing security infrastructure. The proposed architecture enhances an organization’s capability to detect and respond to network threats in real-time, ultimately strengthening the overall security posture.
