Data Sample


Application Wireframe Model

-Information visualization of all the past attacks

-Linking all the categories according to the hierarchy to have a look at overall attack and target patterns.

- It will certainly help in analyzing the previous attack patterns in a visual form which can lead to warnings for future.

-Multi- variable visualization.

-Flexibility to see a pattern according to needs, e.g.. timeline or any variable

- Dynamic database connectivity

-Distinguishing three categories with the help of shapes and colors.- Value of the particular category in context to current selection as year 2004 has been plotted dynamically with size of shapes.
