      • Focus on usability and responsiveness to ensure designs work across various platforms and devices.
    • Data Visualization:

      • Translate complex threat data into clear, meaningful visualizations (e.g., graphs, charts, maps) that help users quickly identify trends, anomalies, and threats.
      • Apply best practices for presenting security data to ensure clarity, legibility, and quick insights while maintaining accuracy and context.
    • Usability Testing & Iteration:

      • Conduct usability testing and gather user feedback to identify design flaws and areas for improvement.

      • Continuously iterate on designs to optimize usability, accessibility, and user satisfaction.
