Spring update 2010
It's been very exciting and busy 6 months at dataviz Australia, here are some of the projects we've been working on since our last update.

Engagement with CERT Australia (Australian Federal Attorney General's Department)
Engagement with BHP Billiton (worlds largest diversified miner)
"ATM Voyager": Development of an interactive ATM performance data visualization tool suite as part of wider "Bank Voyager" product
Piloting of ATM Voyager with a major Australian bank
Preparation for NSW Fraud squad, and the NSW crime commission "ID Theft taskforce" on employing data visualization to identify credit card fraud/skimming
Honeynet Project: Administering and mentoring students in Google funded program "Summer of Code 2010"
Honeynet Project: Forensic Challenge on VOIP
Honeynet Project: VOIP internet attack research
Presentations at the AFP's High Tech Crime Conference, AISA Sydney and Melbourne branches, and the Ballarat Innovation ICT Cluster on data visualization and security.

In summary: As predicted, the demand for meaningful and engaging ways of creating business intelligence from masssive complex data sets is getting stronger. At the same time, we are finding the demand for security and cybercrime consulting is also healthy. We have projects that involve pure security consulting, and some that involve data visualisation in other fields (eg Finance Sector). Happily we also have some projects that call for both skillsets.
