The Application of Visual Analytics to Cyber Security

Margaret Varga

There are ever-growing amounts of security data being generated, collected, stored and made available to cyber security analysts and managers; it is essential that they are able to extract the relevant information from this avalanche of data.  They need, for example, to analyse the data to explore and comprehend the state of their networks, hosts, applications and processes.  However, standard approaches are inadequate to make sense of these ever increasing volumes of complex and heterogeneous data.  There is therefore a need for new methods, approaches and tools to manage, exploit and utilise these valuable information so as to be able to maintain network security.  Visual Analytics is one of the possible solutions to this problem.  This presentation discusses the application of Visual Analytics to cyber security.
