Abstract
Detecting malicious attempts to access computers is difficult with current security applications. Many current applications do not give the user the right information to find and analyze possible attempts. We present VisRAID – a novel visual analytics web application for detecting intrusions via remote access attempts, and a user study to evaluate the effectiveness and usability of the application with security professionals. The implications of the study will help inform the design of future security visualization applications.
