Patent ID: 8549650

Claim:
A computer system for three-dimensional visualization of vulnerability and asset data, comprising: one or more active vulnerability scanners configured to conduct one or more active scans in a network, wherein the active vulnerability scanners interrogate a plurality of hosts in the network during the one or more active scans conducted in the network; one or more passive vulnerability scanners configured to passively observe traffic traveling in the network, wherein the passive vulnerability scanners reconstruct one or more sessions involving one or more of the plurality of hosts from the passively observed traffic; a log correlation engine configured to correlate a plurality of events contained in one or more logs that describe activity detected in the network; a management console comprising one or more physical processors configured to: collect information obtained from the active vulnerability scanners interrogating the plurality of hosts, the passive vulnerability scanners reconstructing the one or more sessions, and the log correlation engine correlating the plurality of events; build a model of the network with the information collected from the active vulnerability scanners, the passive vulnerability scanners, and the log correlation engine, wherein the model of the network includes the plurality of hosts and a plurality of potential vulnerabilities associated with the plurality of hosts; and display a three-dimensional visualization that graphically represents the model of the network, wherein the three-dimensional visualization includes one or more relationships between the plurality of hosts and the plurality of potential vulnerabilities and a routing topology with one or more routing nodes that represent one or more hosts traversed by the traffic and one or more leaf nodes that represent destinations for the traffic.
