How Can Cyber Visualization Tools Improve Cyber Security in Large Organizations?
Cyber Operators find themselves challenged on two fronts. The first is they must try to understand and utilize large volumes of data from multiple sources. The second is they need to constantly learn new tools, all of which have different features, rules interfaces and functions. To solve this issue Aspiration Software proposes the Iterative Heuristic User-centered Data Visualization (iHUD-V), a human-machine system that provides advanced situational awareness for Cyber Operators based on user-centered design.
This approach consists of the iterative use of expert heuristic evaluation, followed by extensive usability evaluation followed by summative evaluation. Additionally, iHUD-V will use a hybrid data architecture that will allow the speed, flexibility and stability needed to carry out these operations. Aspiration Software will apply this approach to real-world operations performed by cyber operators and provide evidence that this approach will be more usable and compelling than the text-based tools that currently dominate cyber analysts’ tool chests.
Anticipated Benefits
If developed and implemented according to plan, iHUD-V will provide an invaluable capability to Cyber Operators of all industries in processing, comprehending and acting on large volumes of disparate cyber related data. Once completed, iHUD-V will not only allow for the further analysis of data but will also integrate existing tools together in a simple, yet powerful platform, which allows the management of all cyber data in one place. The result will be a the increase in efficiency and comprehension and the reduction of cognitive workload for cyber operators.
Utilizing human centered visualizations will help Cyber Operators comprehend vast amounts of disparate data. Our approach to Cyber Visualization will integrate existing tools together in a simple, yet powerful platform, which allows the management of all cyber data in one place.
