RESEARCH ON SECURITY VISUALIZATION: A SURVEY

Abstract

With the advancement of technology, cyber-attacks and viruses are becoming more and more of prominent issues. Fortunately, nowadays there are a multitude of approaches to gain insight and deeper understanding of malware and network anomalies to fend them off. One of the most potent methods is through analyzing the network dataset for peculiar patterns and trends. As such, visualization plays a vital role in understanding and interpreting the status and security of a system. This paper aims to review and analyze the progress of security visualization over the past ten years, not only covering the tools and techniques introduced but also the applications and evaluation systems proposed.
