Cr@ck3n: A cyber alerts visualization object

Abstract

With the increasing number of connected devices and given the complexity of computer networks, to identify cyber anomalies is more and more challenging. Either at home, in the work place or for military defense purposes a better cyber situation awareness is needed. However, the visualization methods are often made for specialists and the information difficult to interpret. In this paper we describe an object made for the visualization of abnormal network events in a user-friendly way using colors, sound and information scrolling. It is still under development but the first user feedback are encouraging.
