Why I Joined The Analogies Project
“For many years I have used a combination of visual cues combined with analogies to help senior executives understand the importance of taking a risk based approach to information security and I was delighted to see “The Analogies Project” as the ultimate vehicle for delivering the same messaging to the general public. Everyone has some information that could be considered an asset worth protecting, thus information security is pertinent to everyone; now everyone has the chance to embrace a fascinating collection of easily relatable stories and factual anecdotes whilst learning how to protect their most precious assets.”
