You know what they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.
But for all the words circling around the internet about cybersecurity, we don't see nearly as many images—at least good ones. Until now.
OpenIDEO created the Cybersecurity Visuals Challenge with the goal to "reimagine the visual language of cybersecurity by elevating more representative imagery."
The top five finishers in the contest were recently announced. Check out the winning images that are pushing the cybersecurity conversation forward.
