A major focus of the user studies was to identify challenges in cyber security to explore how visualizations may enable users to meet those challenges. There was not a prescribed set of challenges that users chose from, instead challenges were compiled from study results and then validated with cyber SMEs. Some of these challenges are not surprising, involve the “big-data” problem (velocity, volume, and variety), and have been previously documented in the literature. However, other identified challenges hold opportunities for further research in visual analytics to enhance the abilities of the personnel defending our networks. By understanding the challenges faced by cyber defenders, a visualization can be designed to help address them, increasing
the tool’s usefulness for the user.

Thanks David for sharing your experience. I think the human element to these frauds makes it easier and vulnerable for an attacker to make his/her move. Human has always been the weakest link to security. However secure the system is, it still remains vulnerable to such frauds. It is a good practice to educate users and customers and making them…[Read more]

Human has always been the weakest link to security. However secure the system is, it still remains vulnerable to such frauds. It is a good practice to educate users and customers and making them aware of this like in the case of Barclay because of which you were able to identify and not be cheated.

Reading this article one can be aware of their behavior type and mak…[Read more]

Nice post Alexandra. Lying about your knowledge can be very risky especially because the auditee would most likely be an expertise in that field and would very easily find out if you are lying or not. Not only that it is difficult to fake knowledge for a longer period of time. The Faker can therefore incorrectly determine the risks as he may not…[Read more]
