VANTOS Analytics and Visualization Tools
V-FlexIM includes Rich Analytic tools to help investigators quickly identify trends in the data and pinpoint root causes.
Benefits
- Visualizations complement human ability while helping to overcome any individual investigator's biases.
- Users get a broad view of data, allowing them to quickly identify patterns in large datasets.
- Visualizations allow users to find connections between data elements.
- Users are able to easily find relationships between data in disparate datasets, and provide a basis for social network analysis.

Analytics and Visualization Tools
Pivot Diagram - Spot patterns in large datasets or group and view the data from different perspectives. Example: Can be used to spot outliers in a network log file based on a given criteria, with ascending and descending sequences, and helps to filter data down to a few useful and relevant entries.
Self-similarity Diagram - Find relationship and patterns between elements in large datasets. Example: Can be used to identify and characterize periodic behavior in IDS, phone, and badge data.
Connection Sphere - Find relationships within single or multiple data sets that match specified criteria. Example: Can be used to visually display who is calling who, or which IPs are connecting to which other IPs.
Event Sequence Diagram - Plot data elements from diverse datasets against time to identify temporal or cause-effect relationships between these elements. Example: show the path of a virus spread from a laptop to other devices and systems on the network.
Social Network Analysis - Analyzes data from a diverse array of sources to identify relationships between individuals, find paths of influence, and determine centrality.
“By incorporating a person’s visual perception into the data analysis process, analysts can detect patterns in data missed by traditional log analysis.”
