With the increasing interconnection of computer networks and sophistication of cyber attacks, it
is important to understand the dynamics of such situations, especially in regards to cyber
international relations. The Explorations in Cyber International Relations (ECIR) Data
Dashboard Project is an initiative to gather worldwide cybersecurity data publicly provided by
nation-level Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) and to provide a set of tools to
analyze the cybersecurity data. The unique contributions of this paper are: (1) an summary of
the current state of the diverse nation-level CERT cybersecurity data sources, (2) a description
of the Data Dashboard tool developed and some interesting analyses from using our tool, and
(3) a discussion of some challenges with the CERT data availability and usability uncovered in
our research.
