Abstract
Data analytic has apparently become a hot topic in the workplace in recent years. While people are aspired to drive positive outcomes from data analytic, one generally overlooks at the dark side of the story – cyber security.
Cyber-attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Coupled with the growing amount of data being generated by individuals, corporations and governments, well-orchestrated attacks could potentially cause major disruptions to any country, such as gaining access to national defense systems. In 28th Feb 2018, the media reported that the Ministry of Defence was hacked, resulting in the stolen data of 850 national servicemen and employee1. Regardless of the actual context, such news should really serve as alarm bells for extra efforts in the cyber security – one can not success in the Data world without a proper understanding of cyber security.
According to David Koh, CEO of Singapore’s Cyber Security Agency, Singaporeans are largely aware of cybersecurity threats but do not take the necessary precautions, which may be due to complacency stemming from Singapore's reputation as a safe country2. Hence, public education is still required to urge individuals into taking preventive measures. This project will contribute to that end by providing interactive and interesting visulisations of cyber-attacks that can engage members of the public. As an extension of the project, the team may be able to provide a certain extent of prediction on where and how cyber attacks may happen.
