Tech Leader Talks Data Visualization

The chapter hosted Jason Ingalls, CEO of Ingalls Information Security, who spoke in February about cybersecurity data visualization. Sixty members of industry, government and the military from the Bossier City-Shreveport area of Louisiana attended the event. He detailed the evolution of cybersecurity breach response, from combing through print logs to look for anomalies to using augmented reality (AR) to create 3-D data visualization. Ingalls and his team demonstrated the AR technology they developed to quickly respond to and neutralize a cyber breach. They created a 3-D map of IP addresses and their connections for a network. An analyst using AR glasses could then reach out with his or her hands to select an IP address or link to request additional information for events showing anomalies. This is a new and innovative way of how the human analyst can leverage tools such as virtual and AR displays to gain significant benefits in their analyses of cybersecurity data.
