SELECTED DATASET

1.Breach Level Index
Source : Gemalto, the world leader in digital security.
Purpose : Dataset is designed to provide a simple way to input publicly disclosed information on data breaches and calculate a score indicating breach severity. (https://breachlevelindex.com/)
1. Organization Breached 2. Number of Records Breached 3. Date of Breach: 01/01/2013 - 29/06/2018 4. Type of Breach -Nuisance (Email, Addresses, Affiliation) -Account Access (Username, Passwords to websites/ social media) -Financial Access (Bank Account Credentials) -Identity Theft ( Information can be used to masquerade someone) -Existential Data ( Info can be used to threaten business survival) 5. Source of Breach: -Lost Device -Stolen Device -Malicious Insider -Malicious Outsider -State Espionage 6. Location: Country 7. Industry: -Technology, Other, Retail, Government, Healthcare, Education -Financial, Social Media, Hospitality, Entertainment, Insurance -Non-profit, Industrial, Professional Services 8. Risk Score: Log 10 ( Type of Data * Source of Breach * Whether Action was taken)

BACKGROUND SURVEY OF RELATED WORKS

SKETCHES STORYBOARD

Sketches	How Analyst Can Conduct Analysis
	Breach Overview Consists of an interactive parallel coordinate chart. This visualisation is linked by setting the time period for the data observed through an interactive timeframe. Parallel Coordinates The parallel coordinates show the distribution of each feature amongst the different countries. The use of brushing is to highlight the selected country/countries in relation to the rest of the countries. Dynamic Timeframe Toggle timeframe according to the period to be visualised.
	Risk Comparison Consists of an interactive line chart, 2 treemaps and a radar chart. These visualisations are linked by checkboxes that detail various features such as type of industry, type of breach and source of breach. Both countries can be toggled and changed to other countries via a dropdown list. Line Chart The line chart compares the breaches per pax for 2 countries determined via the dropdown list. The corresponding colors of each country located beside the flag will match the color used for the lines in the line graph Toggle to display trend by year or by month in a cycle plot. Tooltip when hovering the mouse over to show information on: Breach per pax Total Breach in Country Average Risk Score Treemap The treemap shows a high level view of our breaches and displaying the breach details at the same time. The different rectangles in the treemap will be colored with different intensities based on risk scores. It allows us to see patterns quickly when our eyes visually aggregate rectangles in the same group. Checkbox to check the different features that we would like to drill down to. Toggle year to display different years’ results. Tooltip when hovering the mouse over to show: Type of Breach Type of Industry Source of Breach Average Risk Score Radar Chart The radar chart shows the breakdown of different Human Development Index indicators of various countries shown side by side. This allows us to see the possible different types of countries and see the relation these indicators may have with the breaches the country suffers from Toggle year to display different years’ results. Tooltip when hovering the mouse over to show the exact figure of the particular index.
