Raffael Marty, author of “Applied Security Visualization” has an article on ITWorld about the 3 Do’s and Don’ts of Security Visualization.

“Computers are a very exact science. You tell them to do something and they do exactly that. Visualization is an art ” says Raffael Marty author of Applied Security Visualization. “Visualizing security data is really the intersection of both of these disciplines. You have a lot of creative freedom when generating visuals. However you are restrained to certain principles. It’s both an art and a science to create the right visuals in order for them to be useful. I like that intersection. I like the fact that I apply my creativity and combine it with my security domain knowledge in order to solve security problems.”

He emphasizes the need for experimentation and trying new things, but reinforces that it takes alot of practice and training to product visualizations that are useful.
