My book is finally done. The Applied Security Visualization book (http://secviz.org/content/applied-security-visualization-book-available 
) came out last week, just in time for BlackHat.

The book is very hands-on. It teaches you how to take security data  
and generate visual representations for specific use-cases that you  
might be interested in. Some of the things the book talks about:

• data sources that are essential for security visualization
• graphs and techniques for visualizing data (e.g., when do you use a  
line chart versus a treemap)
• assess threats to your network perimeter, as well as threats imposed  
by insider
• use visualization to manage risks and compliance mandates

The book also contains DAVIX, the data analysis and visualization CD,  
a live CD that contains all the visualization tools discussed in the  
book, ready to go (seehttp://davix.secviz.org)
