SecureScope Visualization Demonstration

Existing user interfaces of information assurance products are inadequate for providing the big picture needed for situational awareness. When SecureScope(TM) draws a scene, it first queries an RDBMS of security events that have been collected from various sensors. It then uses 3-D visualization techniques to illustrate various relationships among the data in the RDBMS. This clip provides more examples of 3-D visualization of security.
