Abstract
A computerized network defense system includes a user interface component for displaying an interactive landscape to an agent, including a graphical representation of (1) network components and interconnections within a computer network, (2) activity within the computer network, and (3) threat information associated with the activity. The activity and threat information is presented in visual association with corresponding network components and interconnections. Agent interaction with the landscape includes (a) selectively highlighting specific network components or interconnections, specific activity, and specific threat information represented on the interactive landscape, (b) causing additional more detailed information about a highlighted item to be displayed in a display element separate from the multidimensional graphical representation (e.g., pop-up box), and (c) selecting and directing use of remediation tools for remediation actions to counteract threat-associated activity. A remediation component initiates the remediation actions based on the agent's selecting and directing use of the remediation tools.
