US Patent 9548994 Integrating security policy and event management

A plurality of security events is detected in a computing system, each security event based on at least one policy in a plurality of security policies. Respective interactive graphical representations are presented in a graphical user interface (GUI) of either or both of the security events or security policies. The representations include interactive graphical elements representing the respective security events or security policies. User selection of a particular event element via the interactive GUI causes a subset of the security policies to be identified, each security policy in the subset serving as a basis for at least one particular security event represented by the particular event element. User selection of a particular policy element via the interactive GUI causes a subset of the security policies to be identified, each security event in the subset based at least in part on a particular security policy represented by the particular policy element.
