Title: NVisionIP and VisFlowConnect: Two Interactive Tools for Visualizing
Network Flow for Security

Abstract:
This talk looks at two tools that have been developed to help security engineers gain situational awareness of their network.
NVisionIP and VisFlowConnect, tools developed at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois, use the information present in NetFlows to create a visualization of a Class B network. The tools allow security engineers to use their background knowledge and intuition along with a computers ability to rapidly display visualizations, in order to gain situational awareness of the network. In addition, NVisionIP and VisFlowConnect provide filtering/drill-down capabilities that will accord security engineers
greater information about the network.
