Corey's Parallel Coordinates with Brushing
This interactive parallel coordinates visualization explores cyber attack tactics against organizations by industry type from 2014 to 2023, using data from the CISSM Cyber Attacks Database. The chart displays four categorical axes (year, actor type, industry code, and event type) with polylines colored by actor type, enabling comparison of attack patterns across multiple dimensions. Users can brush along any axis to filter the dataset dynamically; brushed intervals trigger smooth 500ms fade transitions that dim non-matching lines while highlighting retained records. The visualization includes ordinal color encoding for actor types and supports interactive brushing on all dimensions, with filtered results updating in real time.
AI-generated description-This dataset provides information related to the tactics of know Cyber actors, against organizations categorized by industry type from Jan 1 2014 to Dec 29 2023.

-Observations: --Most attacks seem to be carried out by Criminal actor types, followed closely by Hacktivist actor types. --Hacktivists seem to be the only groups carrying out Political-Espionage attacks. --Criminal, Hacktivists and Nation-State Actor types target nearly all industry types and use nearly all attack types --Criminal actors increased their number of attacks in 2020, 2021, 2022 --Hacktivist actors increase their number of attacks in 2022.
