Does Social Media Visualization Serve as a Primer for 5G Data Visualization?

The deployment of 5G data technology in our daily lives will be revolutionary, but this blast of speed and data will burden cybersecurity management teams and create an entirely new set of risks to handle around issues such as mobile security and integration with smart cities.


One major challenge will be figuring out how to best scrutinize the wave of new data generated by 5G tech. To make it more feasible to manage security operations issues in a 5G world, analysts will need the ability to view visual representations of evolving data in real time. Those who manage a security operations center (SOC) already know the value of data visualization: With better data-representation capabilities in place, analysts can shift their focus from IP addresses, data packets and binary code to looking for associations and irregularities in data flows, bringing a whole new life to log and data point analysis.


Where can we look for a model of how managing data points and data traffic flows might evolve? Social media data visualization tools might be a good place to start, as they are built on points and connections, and the ways in which they make associations could provide significant value in managing cybersecurity incidents.


The Big Picture


Let’s look at this problem through a different lens: Instead of having a security issue to handle, imagine you have a marketing opportunity worth researching.
