    Hiya all,

    I have been doing masters in online security. I am looking for a good topic, that can be easy and doable (including practical aspect of project).
    I would like to get suggestions regarding what can be a good topic that can include firewalls. I have been reserching about Next Generation Firewalls, but I cant seem to get enough information and also I cant seem to figure out practical aspect of this topic.

    I will appreciate your help.
    regards

    AI firewalls?

    Remember commander Data from Star Trek the Next Generation? He at times served as a firewall to the ship's computer systems. Imagine a built-in AI in your laptop that can learn and adapt to ever increasing cyber security threats.

    How about somehow tying in the massive Equifax data breach into your project? There are going to be hundreds of millions of hacked users' account information propagated around the Web with hackers trying to use it to get into financial systems to commit fraud. Maybe there is a way for a firewall to prevent some of these illegal activities?

    Yes, if I get something better..

    The problem I am facing now, there is not enough research material and practical bit for the Next Gen Firewalls.

    With no enough resources for Next Gen Firewalls maybe you can try other topics such as:
    Ipv6 usage and how it will change the current device types and natting scenarios or Advanced SIEM tools and pro-active log analysis.
