== Project ==
=== Description ===
The Mozilla Defense Platform is an open Security Information Event Management (SIEM) system with a unique 3D representation of threat actors that allows incident responders to perform interactive real-time defensive actions. This project creates a VR interface for the platform to create an immersive experience for security analysts using MozDef. 

=== Success Criteria ===
This project is successful if the team:
* creates new visualizations per attack (example DDOS for globe)
* learns data visualization
* Show what the project was before they started, and what it is after their work
* Completes a presentation of their work
* Fixes the bugs currently open in the [https://github.com/jeffbryner/MozDef/issues Github Issue Tracker]
* Improves MozDef platform by adding addtional features
Timeframe: December/January.
