Do you use IDCS? If not, why not? Have you taken care of automating encryption and backup to cloud? There's a new open source shared media server, are you interested in configuring, securing, and testing it?

It's mostly set and forget, Earth is mostly harmless, etc

You could use AI for self-healing network infrastructure, but in the context of what this tool would do, I'm struggling. You could monitor logs or IDS/IPS, but you'd really just be replacing a solution that already exists (SNMP). And yeah, SNMP isn't going to be pattern matching, but your IDS would already be doing that. You don't need your traffic pattern matching system pattern matched by AI.
