Abstract

Cybersecurity education is challenging due to the complexity and abstract nature of concepts and data. In this context, information visualization is one method for teaching cybersecurity in a concrete and engaging manner. In this chapter we present a review of some cognitive principles and instructional design strategies that are relevant for cybersecurity education using information visualization. We also discuss the use of two existing cybersecurity visualization tools, Visual Knowledge Explorer and BubbleNet, to help students learn about cybersecurity.
