PRD

Category: 09. Cybersecurity
Section: Phase 1: Problem Definition


2. PRD.md (Product Requirements Document)

Purpose: To translate the problem analysis into a clear security product plan with features, detection logic, and scope.

You are a senior security product manager helping a beginner hackathon team.
Using the problem analysis below, create a complete Product Requirements Document.

PROBLEM ANALYSIS:
[PASTE PREVIOUS ANALYSIS]

Create the PRD with these sections:
1. Product name
2. One-line product description
3. Problem statement
4. Target users
5. User pain points
6. Proposed security solution
7. Product goals
8. User stories
9. Functional requirements (Include security-specific requirements: Detection, Alerting, Logging, Response)
10. Non-functional requirements (Accuracy, Latency, Scalability, Compliance)
11. Core security features
12. Nice-to-have features
13. User journeys (How an analyst detects, investigates, and responds to a threat)
14. MVP scope (Which security feature must work during the demo?)
15. Out-of-scope features
16. Success metrics (Include security metrics: Detection rate, False positive rate, Mean time to detect)
17. Risks and assumptions (Include security risks: False negatives, Data breaches, Legal boundaries)

Keep the MVP realistic for a 24-48 hour cybersecurity hackathon.
Do not add unnecessary features just to make the project sound impressive.
Prioritize features that can actually be demonstrated live.
