Abstract
Cybersecurity visualization is a multi-disciplinary subject that combines aspects of big data, visualization, human perception, human computer interaction, usability and security. Extended Reality (XR) is emerging as a very promising technology that can provide innovative solutions to educational challenges. The recent advances in XR technologies provide a great opportunity to support the deployment and use of XR applications for cybersecurity education, in single-user and collaborative settings. We developed Extended Reality for Cybersecurity Experiential and Immersive Learning (XR-CEIL) tool for embodied data exploration and immersive analysis of multi-dimensional heterogeneous cybersecurity data. The data is represented using coordinated multiple views and by providing a digital twin of the equipment and infrastructure configuration in an XR immersive environment.
