Visual Analytics for Information Security: Efficiency Assessment and Analysis of Visualization Methods

The purpose of the article: to identify and systematize information security problems that are solved using visual analytics methods, applied data visualization models and methods for assessing the effectiveness of visualization models. Research method: a systematic analysis of the application of visual analytics methods for solving information security problems. Analysis of relevant work in the field of information security and data visualization, as well as methods for assessing visualization. The objects of research are: solving information security problems through visual analysis and methods for assessing the effectiveness of visualization models. The result obtained: an interactive map of visualization models and their areas of application is presented, which will allow researchers and developers to choose the visualization models that are most appropriate for specific applied information security problems. A classification of methods for assessing visualization is presented. The scope of the proposed approach is the creation of visualization models that can be used to increase the efficiency of operator interaction with information security applications. The proposed article will be useful both for students studying in the direction of training “Information Security”, and for specialists who develop information security systems.
