Abstract
Visualization for presenting event information indicative of a computer security threat is automatically selected from available visualizations. Event information received from data sources is assigned a category prior to being stored in an event log. The event log may be searched for relevant event information using the assigned categories. Visualizations applicable to the relevant event information are retrieved and given an importance score, which may be based on execution of prioritization algorithms using corresponding relevant event information. The retrieved visualizations are ranked based on their importance scores. One or more retrieved visualizations that have the best importance scores relative to other retrieved visualization are selected for rendering.
