Why I Joined The Analogies Project

“At university I studied Linguistics; the science of language. Throughout my degree we were reminded that how we communicate and the language we use can have a profound effect on how others respond to us. In my information security career to date, I have seen and heard on countless occasions from the industry the argument that the business doesn’t care or doesn’t understand why security matters or how it works. The challenge I see is that, as a profession, we are poor at translating our concerns into those of our colleagues, and in communicating the concepts that our industry lives and breathes every day. I have a passion for helping people understand security, and in doing so, seeing them become increasingly engaged with it and this is why I wanted to be part of the project. The Analogies project provides a mechanism to help break through these barriers by offering tangible, accessible images to security professionals that they can use to explain often dry and inaccessible concepts to their business partners.”
