Hi all, I'd be interested in joining that discussion.
I'm a phd student applying ML in the security monitoring domain. It is my expectation that I'll be able to contribute with some event correlation and alert filtering methods. (Corelation: Finding events that are relevant to each other. Filtering: Suppressing false alerts from e.g. IDSs, or picking out the relevant ones) You'll see a PR as soon as I have something that is somewhat ready. A particularly interesting issue (to me at least) is the possibilities of using a real, running SOC as the the "label factory" for labelled data. Getting real data with labels for supervised methods is one of the great challenges, and I see quite some potential for Metron here.
