1. A method comprising:
- in a first computer screen, providing a first portion of the screen with a plurality of user-adjustable options;
in the first computer screen, providing a second portion of the screen with a graph having a first axis, a second axis, and at least one reference line;
after a first user-selectable option is selected, animating a plurality of bubbles in the graph; and
while the plurality of bubbles are being animated, not moving the at least one reference line from a fixed position, wherein the plurality of bubbles move in motion relative to the fixed position of the at least one reference line.

Abstract
Asset security is tracked and managed by the system. In a specific implementation, assets are entered into the system. The system automates gathering security information about the asset by, for example, sending out surveys and aggregating the responses. The system performs a security gap analysis by comparing the responses against a security maturity model. Tasks can be assigned to various users and then tracked so that vulnerabilities can be addressed. The system generates interactive summary reports (e.g., charts, graphs, animation) to help users make security decisions. Graphs may be temporally animated so that users can see and analyze changes over time.

12. A method comprising:
-
in a first computer screen, drawing a first fixed reference line of a graph; drawing a second fixed reference line of the graph; drawing a third fixed reference line of the graph, wherein the third fixed reference line is not parallel to either the first fixed or second fixed reference line; animating a first circle and a second circle of the graph, whereby the first and second circle are in motion relative to the third fixed reference line; showing a first region of the graph that is a first distance range away from third reference line using a first color; and showing a second region of the graph that is a second distance range away from third reference line using a second color, different from the first. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)

15. A method comprising:
-
in a first computer screen, drawing a first fixed reference line of a graph; drawing a second fixed reference line of the graph; drawing a third fixed reference line of the graph, wherein the third fixed reference line is not parallel to either the first fixed or second fixed reference line; drawing a fourth fixed reference line of the graph, wherein the fourth fixed reference line is not parallel to either the first fixed, second fixed, or third fixed reference line; animating a first circle and a second circle of the graph, whereby the first and second circle are in motion relative to the third and fourth fixed reference lines; showing a first region of the graph that is between the third and fourth fixed reference lines using a first color; and showing a second region of the graph that is outside the third and fourth fixed reference lines using a second color, different from the first color. - View Dependent Claims (16)
