Abstract
Cyber security visualization is becoming a hot research field. Visualization and interactive analysis can greatly help network managers and analysts monitor network, detect anomalies, and assess the situation of network. A large number of papers have been published in this field, and a lot of novel visual tools have been proposed. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive review of visualization systems for cyber security. Firstly, we introduce the advantage and importance of cyber security visualization. Then, we summarize the categorization of cyber security visualization systems. At last, we draw conclusion by evaluating these systems and prospect for future research.
