Abstract :
We present a multiple views visualization for the security data in the VAST 2010 Mini Challenge 2. The visualization is used to monitor log event activity on the network log data included in the challenge. Interactions are provided that allow analysts to investigate suspicious activity and escalate events as needed. Additionally, a database application is used to allow SQL queries for more detailed investigation.
