This is a submission for the KendoReact Free Components Challenge.

⚡ TL;DR

• 15+ KendoReact Free components, theme‑only styling, strong UX/A11y, and a clear SOC analyst flow (Grid with sorting/filtering/paging, Charts, TabStrip/Drawer/Menu, Buttons, Tooltip, Loader, AutoComplete).




• KendoReact AI Coding Assistant used end‑to‑end for Grid/Charts configuration, responsive layout, and theme consistency; about 40% faster development and 15 components mastered in 16 days.




• Real AI integration that never blocks the demo: Cohere v2/chat (model: command‑a‑03‑2025) with messages[] and parsing from message.content[].text, plus an intelligent fallback; visible badges display environment (Prod/Dev) and source (cohere‑direct/demo/intelligent‑fallback).




• Live demo and repository included; screenshots show the Kendo Assistant interactions and the AI analysis header with badges for judge clarity.

What I Built

SOC-CERT: Enterprise Cybersecurity Dashboard with Real AI & 15+ KendoReact Components

SOC-CERT Dashboard delivers enterprise security monitoring with real Cohere API integration (when available) and intelligent analysis fallback - ensuring 100% uptime for critical operations. This frontend layer extends my award-winning "SOC-CERT – Automated Threat Intelligence System" to provide security analysts with real-time threat visualization.

🔍 Problem it solves: Security teams lack accessible, real-time tools for monitoring evolving threats. SOC-CERT transforms raw data into clear triage workflows, giving SOC analysts enterprise SIEM visibility—faster to deploy and easier to use.

Key Features:

• Real-time alert monitoring with filtering/sorting/pagination
  


• AI-powered threat analysis using Cohere Command model
  


• Professional dark/light SOC-themed interface
  


• 100% KendoReact components + theme only
  


• Mobile-responsive design
  


• Environment badges showing AI source (Cohere-Direct/Intelligent-Fallback)
