Abstract

A key challenge for cybersecurity operations in organisations is the sheer scale of the data generated within organisations as they increasingly digitise their operations. The scale of data makes is challenging for personnel responsible for monitoring security to maintain a clear situational awareness of network activity, and detect, identify and respond to potential attacks. This project focuses on identifying and implementing approaches to visualising large cybersecurity datasets in a way that is comprehensible and digestible for users. The project might include requirements gathering (e.g., through interviews) to identify users’ needs; implementation and validation of visualization approaches in a laboratory setting; or testing of the developed visualizations with end users to assess utility.
