Go-Trigger: Automated Breach Detection & Remediation Platform

Discipline: CS

Advisor: Matthew Gerber

Go-Trigger is a cybersecurity platform designed to tackle the growing problem of digital identity exposure from data breaches. The system actively scans public and private breach databases to see if a user's information, like an email or username, has been compromised. Its key innovation is moving beyond simple detection to offer automated remediation. While users can monitor breach alerts through a web interface, a separate, downloadable application handles the sensitive task of changing compromised passwords. This is done locally on the user's machine within secure, temporary environments called ephemeral containers, which self-destruct after use. This zero-trust architecture ensures that user credentials are never stored on or transmitted to Go-Trigger's servers, guaranteeing privacy. The project, developed by a student team, uses a modern tech stack including Go, Angular, Docker, and multiple database systems to create a scalable, low-cost, and user-centric security tool.
