SMART INDIA HACKATHON 2025
Problem Statement ID: SIH1678 – Real-time
feeds of cyber incidents pertaining to Indian
Cyber Space
Project Title: Cyber Alert Digest for India
Theme: Cyber Security
Category: Software
Team: Team Iliyas (Team ID: XXXX)
Contact: iliyas@example.com
IDEA TITLE
- AI-powered aggregator for India-specific cyber incidents
- Collects from Twitter/X, CERT-In, RSS feeds, Pastebin, APIs
- Automatically filters, categorizes & summarizes incidents
Innovation & Uniqueness:
- India-first focused feed with AI-based curation
- Zero-shot classification & summarization (Hugging Face)
- Lightweight & hackathon-feasible prototype
TECHNICAL APPROACH
Tech Stack:
- Backend: Python, BeautifulSoup, Tweepy, SQLite/JSON
- AI: Hugging Face (BERT, DistilBERT, Summarization models)
- Frontend: Streamlit / React + Chart.js
Process Flow:
Sources Scraper Database AI (classify + summarize) Dashboard
→ → → →
FEASIBILITY & VIABILITY
- Uses free-tier APIs & open-source models
- Prototype runs locally; demo-ready in hackathon timeframe
Challenges & Solutions:
- Noise & false positives Keyword filtering & source prioritization
→
- API rate limits Caching & scheduled polling
→
- Model errors Confidence thresholds & human-in-loop review
→
IMPACT & BENEFITS
- Centralized, India-specific cyber threat intelligence
- Supports CERT-In, enterprises, students, researchers
Benefits:
- Saves analysts’ time with concise summaries
- Reduces noise & focuses on actionable incidents
- Builds foundation for cyber-resilient India
