Sentinel AI

Sentinel AI is an enterprise-grade security platform that continuously monitors third-party vendors for real-time risk signals across the public web. In today's interconnected digital landscape, organizations depend heavily on external vendors like AWS, Stripe, Okta, and Cloudflare — and a single vendor incident can cascade into a catastrophic business disruption. Sentinel AI solves this by automating the entire vendor risk intelligence pipeline. It uses Bright Data's SERP API to search Google for security incidents, breaches, outages, compliance violations, and lawsuits across all monitored vendors every five minutes. Discovered articles are scraped using Bright Data's Web Access API for full content extraction, then analyzed by OpenAI GPT-4o-mini which performs deep risk assessment and returns structured intelligence including risk level, incident type, business impact, and recommended action. The platform features a Security Operations Center dashboard built with Next.js and Tailwind CSS, displaying real-time vendor health status, risk severity metrics, and a complete alert timeline for each vendor. Risk levels are color-coded from Healthy to Critical, with automatic status updates after every scan cycle. Built for hackathon-speed deployment, Sentinel AI runs entirely locally with a FastAPI backend, SQLite database, APScheduler for automated monitoring, and a responsive dark-themed frontend — giving security teams instant visibility into their entire vendor ecosystem without any manual effort.
