Security visualization: Cyber security storm map and event correlation

Efficient visualization of cyber incidents is the key in securing increasingly complex information infrastructure. Extrapolating security-related information from data from multiple sources can be a daunting task for organizations to maintain safe and secure operating environment. However, meaningful visualizations can significantly improve decision-making quality and help security administrators in taking rapid response. The purpose of this work is to explore this possibility by building on previously gained knowledge and understanding of weather maps used in meteorology, assessing the gaps, and applying various techniques and matrices to quantify the impacts of cyber incidences in an efficient way.
