Cloud services continue to attract organizations with advantages that enable subsidiary costs. While there are advantages, security in the cloud is an ongoing challenging process for cloud providers and users. Cyber-threats are penetrating cloud technologies and exposing flaws in the cloud technologies. Data Provenance as a Security Visualization Service (DPaaSVS) and Security Visualization as a Cloud Service (SVaaCS) for cloud technologies are solutions to help track and monitor data in the cloud. Either data is at-rest or in in-transit, security visualization empowers cloud providers and users to track and monitor their data movements. Security visualization refers to the concept of using visualization to represent security events. In this chapter, we (1) provide our security visualization standardized model and (2) provide the security visualization intelligence framework model and finally discuss several security visualization use-cases.
