Cyber situational awareness relies on the ability of a network analyst to detect and identify anomalous activity on a network. In this design challenge, students will work in teams of three to design a network visualization that will help analysts see where problems are occurring, using a provided data set. Students will learn the basics of visualization design and data analysis for cyber SA using Python and browser-based visualization tools. Cash prizes will be awarded to the winner and first two runners-up!
Session 1--10 January: Overview & Data Analysis using Python
Session 2--17 January: Visualization Basics
Session 3--24 January: Lab and Critique Session
Session 4--31 January: Final Presentations and Project Showcase
