The Information Warfare Visualization (IWViz) software
prototype provides an interactive three-dimensional
capability that enhances user perception of Defensive
Information Warfare (DIW) data for decision-making and
situational awareness purposes. This visualization tool
is designed to be useful to operations security analysts,
network operators, and DIW managers, and can be viewed
on a large screen display or a personal computer monitor.
IWViz provides a situational awareness display and quick
assessment capability that uses intrusion information
generated by distributed IDS sensor(s) to create and
present real-time alerts to users as a graphical representation.
Stacks of multi-colored cubes are overlaid on a geographic
map, indicating location relevance. A filtering capability
lets analysts tailor the display to enhance pattern
recognition. |
