Review: Virtually every device connected to the Internet generates a sea of log data, intrusion detection alarms, firewall alerts, antivirus warnings, and/or network traffic. At the enterprise level gigabytes (or more) of security data and millions of alerts may be generated daily. This book provides some effective visual ways to present information in order to visualize vulnerabilities and intrusion detection system alarms, cope with and correlate large-volume security information flows, monitor the security status of individual hosts, and perform forensic analysis. The author teaches you how to design a suitable system and how to interpret the resultant security visualization images. There are chapters on: information visualization; binary file visualization; port scan visualization; vulnerability assessment and exploitation; a survey of security visualization; firewall log visualization; intruder detection log visualization; attacking and defending visualization systems; and creating a security visualization system.
