CyberPetri at CDX 2016: Real-time network situation awareness

CyberPetri is a novel visualization technique that provides a flexible map of the network based on available characteristics, such as IP address, operating system, or service. Previous work introduced CyberPetri as a visualization feature in Ocelot, a network defense tool that helped security analysts understand and respond to an active defense scenario. In this paper we present a case study in which we use CyberPetri to support real-time situation awareness during the 2016 Cyber Defense Exercise.
