Abstract

The system and method for three-dimensional visualization of vulnerability and asset data described herein may provide a management console that integrates various active vulnerability scanners, various passive vulnerability scanners, and a log correlation engine distributed in a network. In particular, the management console may include a three-dimensional visualization tool that can be used to generate three-dimensional visualizations that graphically represent vulnerabilities and assets in the network from the integrated information that management console collects the active vulnerability scanners, the passive vulnerability scanners, and the log correlation engine distributed in the network. As such, the three-dimensional visualization tool may generate three-dimensional representations of the vulnerabilities and assets in the network that can be used to substantially simplify management of the network.
