Tackling the challenge of complex security vulnerability data
Tackling the challenge of complex security vulnerability data


A key challenge was making an unconventional design pattern usable for a broad range of cybersecurity users. Many customers were used to large lists and tables of vulnerability data, which, while familiar, became overwhelming as data grew. The team aimed to introduce a more visual and interactive experience that would allow users to scan, investigate, and act on vulnerabilities more efficiently.

Designing core interactions & user flows
Designing core interactions & user flows
I worked inside the design team specifically on wireframes and documentation so we could establish foundational concepts and design patterns that would shape this system. The result was the “Hive Planar System,” a UI design that used overlapping panels to let users drill into specific details without losing their place in the broader data context.

The goal was to help users quickly identify patterns and insights, making it easier to dive into specific vulnerabilities, assess severity, and respond faster. The challenge was ensuring this new approach catered to both technical experts and less specialized users, offering a seamless transition from traditional data-heavy formats to a more intuitive, dynamic system that reduced cognitive load without sacrificing efficiency or accuracy.
