Simple Cybersecurity Incident Reporting API

Description:

You are tasked with creating a simple backend system for a basic cybersecurity incident reporting API. This system will allow organizations to report cybersecurity incidents and view a list of reported incidents.

Requirements:

1. Incident Model:

• Create a model for representing a cybersecurity incident with the following attributes:
  • Incident ID (auto-generated)
  • Date and Time of Incident
  • Description

Endpoints:

1. Report an Incident:

• Create an endpoint that allows organizations to report a new cybersecurity incident.
• Input: Incident details (Date and Time, Description, Severity Level, Reporter details)
• Output: Return the details of the reported incident with a unique Incident ID.

2. List All Incidents:

• Create an endpoint to retrieve a list of all reported cybersecurity incidents.
• Output: List of incidents with their details.

3. Security:

• Implement a simple form of authentication, such as API key-based authentication, to ensure that only authorized organizations can report incidents. Documentation:

Notes:

• Use FastAPI as the main library for building the API.
• You can use an in-memory data store for simplicity (e.g., a list or dictionary).
• Focus on simplicity and ease of understanding for interview purposes.
• Do not worry about advanced features or complex functionalities.

Submission:

• Provide the source code for the FastAPI project.
• Include a brief README.md file explaining how to run and test the API.
• Share the GitHub repository link or a zip file with the submission.
