APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR VISUALIZING NETWORK STATE BY USING GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

摘要

Disclosed is an apparatus for displaying the state of a network to enable a user to intuitively recognize a network security situation. The disclosed apparatus for displaying the state of a network includes: a security event collecting unit that collects security events from the outside; an IP address converting unit that converts a source IP address and a destination IP address in characteristic data of the collected security events into geographic information on the basis of information stored in a geographic information database; and a network state display unit that displays the flow of security events for each protocol between a source and a destination as an image including a globe shape, on the basis of the characteristic data and the geographic information transmitted from the IP address converting unit.
