How do you visualize a network with 1M computers so that you can perceive its state and identify problems? How to identify unusual events occuring in one of regional offices?
In the first (mini-) challenge, (the imaginary) BankWorld's largest financial institution, the (fictitious) Bank of Money needs your best situation awareness visualizations to understand the health of its global corporate network. But how do you visualize data out of a network containing nearly
a million computers
in a way that you can perceive its state and identify problems?
In the second (mini-) challenge, unusual events are occurring in one of the Bank of Money's regional offices. Some of them may very well wreak havoc across the institution if they turn out to be malicious. What are these unusual events? And if you were in charge of computer security, what actions should be taken to safeguard the network and quite possibly save the Bank of Money from disaster? (Participants from last year's VAST challenge may find their firewall and IDS log analysis tools useful for this challenge as well!)
Data for challenges 1 and 2 are
now available.
Submission deadline: July 9, 2012.
