Abstract

Attack graphs provide a comprehensive overview of attack vectors. Unfortunately, their complexity dramatically increases as the number of hosts in a network grows. For realistic networks, the human eye cannot discern the state of a network without tracing individual attack paths. In order to combat this complexity, we discuss and implement mitigation techniques and the use of collaborative multi-touch environments for an intuitive, natural approach to visual analytics.
