Using Virtual Reality in Security Monitoring
FY 2016-17
Summary
With the increasing usage of internet enabled devices and cloud services the amount of data being sent overnetworks has been increasing exponentially. Being able to monitor network activity is an important part ofsecuring network monitoring and intelligence gathering. This is becoming more difficult as the amount oftraffic being generated has been growing faster than our ability to effectively analyze it. The objective of thisproject is to evaluate the potential of integrating virtual reality (VR) technologies with log management tools toexperiment with different ways of improving the handling and analyses of large volume of alerts and alarmsand to reduce incident response time. This project could potentially lead to many new extensions for logmanagement tools such as development of a VR web plugin for exploratory data analysis, a central hub tocontrol three dimensional dashboards or a real-time collaborative environment.
