Visualizing Threats: Network Visualization for Cyber Security
6 likes4,317 views
The document discusses the importance of network visualization for cyber security using Keylines, a powerful SDK that facilitates the creation of web applications for visualizing connected data. It covers various techniques for threat detection, investigation, and operational security, emphasizing real-time data monitoring and machine learning for anomaly detection. Additionally, it highlights case studies demonstrating the effectiveness of these tools in identifying and managing advanced security threats.
