Information security analysis system

A method for visualization and animation of a communications network, comprising:

• storing a visualization set-up file to supply information and data for processing;
• accessing on a selective basis the stored visualization set-up file;
• transferring the accessed set-up file to a visualization processor;
• gathering information on the physical and virtual characteristics of the communications network;
• generating a knowledge base of the gathered information;
• parsing the information in the generated knowledge base to generate data in selected categories in readable format;
• analyzing the data in the selected categories to create associations to characterize the communications network;
• processing the analyzed data to generate network signals to determine participant utilization of the communications network;
• transferring the generated network signals to a rendering engine;
• and
• processing in the rendering engine the generated network signals to output network related display signals.
