REAL-TIME FIREWALL EVENT ALERT SYSTEM FOR NETWORK PROTECTION

The proposed system addresses the limitations of traditional firewalls by introducing real-time alert functionality using Django and Python. It monitors firewall logs to detect suspicious activities like brute-force login attempts, port scans, and large data transfers. Alerts are generated immediately and sent via email, ensuring quick response. The system includes a web dashboard for admin visibility and uses SQLite for lightweight storage. It is affordable, scalable, and suitable for small organizations and educational institutions. By automating detection and alerts, it minimizes manual workload and enhances network security posture. This project showcases the effectiveness of open-source tools in building real-time cybersecurity systems
