Why should we use 3D Collaborative Virtual Environments for Cyber Security

Question

1. What contributions have the authors mentioned in the paper "Why should we use 3d collaborative virtual environments for cyber security?" ?

2. What future works have the authors mentioned in the paper "Why should we use 3d collaborative virtual environments for cyber security?" ?

3. What was the goal of the CyberNet project?

4. What is the main drawback of Visual Analytics?

Accepted Answer

The authors think that 3D Collaborative Virtual Environments ( 3DCVE ) can be used in order to improve users Cyber Situational Awareness, as they can allow them to have a better understanding of a cyber situation by mediating interactions towards them and also by providing different points of view of the same data, on different scales.

Accepted Answer

Finding ways of representing data in a fancy 3D visualization is not enough and the authors should give users the possibility to collaborate within the same Virtual Environment to interact naturally with data and to train on realistic Cyber situations.

Accepted Answer

The CyberNet project for instance, developed by Gros et al. in the 2000 [6] was an ambitious one that aimed at providing different 3D metaphors for network management, such as the city metaphor: data are represented as buildings within a city, with different heights, numbers of windows and so on.

Accepted Answer

As more and more data are generated and collected on networks, analysts face a ’Needle in a Haystack’ problem when they want to detect attacks and visualization tools helps them to detect discrepancies and to investigate [14].

Accepted Answer

Struggling against cyber threats is a more and more demanding task but the authors show that practices are still not harnessing yet the capabilities of 3D Collaborative Virtual Environments and Virtual Reality technologies.

Accepted Answer

Letting users waving hands to each other, pointing things with fingers or head-nodding in Virtual Environment was called ’Social VR’ and this mutual awareness makes a lot of sense1https://www.elastic.co/webinars/introduction-elk-stackwhile doing collective tasks; by knowing others gaze and interactions, you can improve their coordination and collaboration by letting them exchanging contextual information.

Accepted Answer

The authors are not saying that the authors should replace every existing 2D dashboard by a 3D interactive visualization: 2D charts are still powerful enough to compare statistical distributions or to show trends, but some actual solutions can combine both, as Virtualitics2, which put users in a 3D environments where both 3D and 2D data representations are used.

Accepted Answer

These systems are the backbone of Security Operations Centers (SOCs) but on the opposite of Visual Analytics solutions, they are neither interactive nor collaborative, and they need additional big data technologies such as the ELK Stack1 (Elasticsearch, LogStash and Kibana tools) to help analysts to dig into data.

Accepted Answer

The authors are just pointing that recent technologies allow us to rethink interaction and data visualization, as the Multiscale network Mixed-Reality visualization from Beitzel et al. [2] who propose to use a Microsoft HoloLens to analyse several layers of Network data.
