Proposing a multi-touch interface for intrusion detection environments
Jeffrey Guenther, Fred A. Volk, Mark Shaneck · 2010
Network Intrusion Detection is a critical task in today's environment, where network attacks and intrusions are everyday occurrences and state-level cyber warfare is a major concern. At the same time, it is a very difficult task, in part due to the large scale of the data logs where the attack information is hidden, and also in part because of the lack of effective data exploration tools for the intrusion detection tasks. In this work, we examine the current state of visualization techniques and identify some key limitations. Based on this analysis, we propose a novel design for an interface for network security analysts, capitalizing on cutting edge technology, and discuss implications for future research.
