Project poster

The security industry is rapidly developing and changing, creating a knowledge gap and skills shortage due to the challenging learning curve. Analysts and students struggle with the overwhelming amount of data that typical network analysis tools display, which leads to a time-consuming investigation process. The SecViz tool allows SecOps analysts to read and dynamically visualize packet logs, leading to faster identification, investigation, and mitigation of KPIs. In addition, the tool helps expedite the speed of identifying security gaps that may have been missed or taken a significant amount of time to come across.
