The rapid development of IT technology opens an unprecedented age of big data. The massive amounts of information gives us more data. Meanwhile, all kinds of security problems follow. Data visualization techniques can help us to identify the possible security threats in the system roundly and timely, evaluate system security and ensure the security of infrastructure. In this paper, we first classified security data according to the feature of big data from data perspective; then, summarized the existing visualization tools and technology based on all types of security data so that we can use mature data security visualization technology for the researches of big data security; at last we outlined guidelines and directions for future studies.
