Abstract

Corporations are usually not able to react quickly enough toward security incidents because their security staffs are flooded by information difficult to interpret. To help them in their task, we propose a new approach to build efficient visualizations based on more pertinent information. Fewer but higher-level parameters are collected on the endpoints and then centralized on the network. We also present an interactive grouping method to overcome the problem of the amount of data to display. Finally, two complementary visualizations based on that approach are described along with usage scenarios that illustrate their usefulness.
