About the Radar

Note from the site administrator - 8 Sep, 2011.

To improve the reliability of the Security News section of the Radar Page, we have made a modification to the applet code.  It is the same news, the same source, but a more reliable way of accessing it.  One thing you may notice is the domain name for the Security News applet has changed.  If you run script management software such as NoScript in your browser, you will need to add securitynewsportal.com to the allowed sites list.  You may remove prognosisx.com if the Radar Page is your only interaction with that site.  We apologize for the inconvenience, but hope this will provide a more reliable Radar Page for everyone.  Thank you.

The "Computer Network Defence Operational Picture", better known as The Radar Page has proved extremely popular, especially during periods of heightened tension where we experience hit rates of 12K/hour.  It is a useful resource that illustrates all of the latest Information Security Threats and News, updated by staff in Europe and the US.  The Radar Page is always complete with live information as it develops.

The Radar Page was designed and built to cater for the demands of Government and Military networks requiring near real time information on new and emerging cyber threats. It's public availability and lack of corporate identity has resulted in almost every industry, including home users, taking advantage of it either on an occasional basis or full time on plasma screens. The page auto updates every 20 minutes drawing information from multiple sources.

25 Jan 2006 President Bush can be seen standing in front of our radar page during his visit to the National Security Agency (NSA) at Fort Meade, the NSA is just one of our high profile visitors, though it is very rare that we see inside their operations centres. The footage of this visit was seen on CNN, NBC and featured by a host of newspapers, from the US to China.  Many thanks to our supporters  for making us aware of our unexpected photo call.

Note from the site administrator - 17 Jan, 2011.

Use of the Security Radar page is very popular. So popular that many organizations try to replicate it for their own use. It is the intellectual property of Computer Network Defence, Ltd. and in an effort to retain those intellectual property rights, we are always diligent about watching for others misusing the images and information available on the Radar page. We recently improved our ability to stop misuse of the Security Radar page, and have noticed that we have stopped several locations that appeared to be replicating the page. If we have affected your internal Radar page, we apologize, but do ask that you use the Security Radar page in the way it was intended, via our site. http://www.securitywizardry.com/radar.htm.

It is possible to get a branded version of the radar page for your exclusive use, please contact us for more information.

Thank you.
