Abstract :
The use of network data visualization tools for cyber security is particularly challenging when large amounts of diverse data are displayed and continuously updated. These real-time changes can be used for context-sensitive decision making, but are impeded by a lack of expressive visualization techniques. In this work, we propose a new method for the visualization of network traffic - virtual worlds. These three-dimensional, immersive environments allow the representation of data and metrics within an expressive environment intuitive to many users. Furthermore, they provide a unique medium for users to collaborate in identifying and isolating security vulnerabilities. We provide a description of the system for situational awareness and proposed experiment involving cognitive processes of human vision, perception and action.
