Abstract

Visualization systems for intrusion detection are becoming more prevalent, but the lack of an organizing framework for proper development of these systems is problematic. This paper introduces a component-based structure that can be used to adequately design and implement intrusion detection information visualization systems. This component-based structure implements a combination of common information visualization components with operational components specific to the critical, real-time nature of intrusion detection. The manuscript also performs an analysis of intrusion detection visualization research projects by verifying their use of the components described by this framework.
