ABSTRACT

The communication problems have resulted in a large disconnect between cybersecurity professionals and their stakeholders. Cybersecurity is an exciting field but has a hard time shaking off a misplaced reputation. Visual communication is one of many other tools that can be used to improve this disconnect. Visual literacy is the ability to read, comprehend, create, and use, and the insight to plan visual language. It is grounded concepts such as visual perception, visual language, visual learning, visual thinking, and visual communication. Visual communication skills vary from putting a doodle on a napkin and stick figures on a white board, to artistic speeches, professionally designed graphics, and virtual reality. Some businesses take it very seriously: Google employs an official Chief Doodler, Microsoft has a Chief Storyteller, and at Ford, there is a Master Clay Modeler who builds clay models for each new car.
