datavisualization

In this episode I had a chance to talk to Lisa Jones-Huff about the importance of data visualization and how it can help both security AND the business. Lisa is the Senior Director of Global Security Specialists for Elastic.

Talking Points:

Some basic steps for understanding how to interpret your data:

• What is the very first thing you should do on your data visualization journey?
• What type of data do you have?
• What is the value of that data?
• What types of use cases provide the most 'Combined Value'?
• How can Graph can help tell the story in a detail that a 'regular' person can understand?

German Philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein once wrote: “Some things cannot be said. They must be shown.” He was prophetically speaking about the power of visualization! These days, it’s not just data visualization that matters, but process viz as well.

To wit: the wildly popular orchestration tool, Airflow, which boasts 8 million downloads per month, is now being used by many organizations to map out a wide range of cloud and hybrid cloud scenarios. The broader trend line also shows classic Intranets and Web portals coming back, now serving as both process and analytics hubs. The goal is to synthesize views from across the business, even spanning multiple BI systems; and also enable front-line workers to take analytics-driven actions that help the business.
