Title: FireViz: A Personal Network Firewall Visualizing Tool
Nidhi Sharma · 2005
This proposal outlines the development of a personal firewall visualizing tool called FireViz. FireViz leverages the human perceptual capabilities by employing various visual analytic techniques to depict network activity in real time. FireViz creates network usage profiles to depict anomalous behavior so that users may update their firewall security policies to provide greater computer security. The primary goal of FireViz is to educate typical computer users of the security threats their computers face, when connected to a network, through the use of effective visual cues.
