Can You Protect Yourself from Hackers at CES?
Cool Infographics: Charts and graphs can communicate data; infographics turn data into information.
Are you headed to CES in Las Vegas this week? Do you know how to protect your electronic devices? The Is Your Device Safe at CES? infographic from Novell shows us some heartbreaking stats.
The Numbers Don’t Lie
You don’t think it will ever happen to you, do you? Well, think again. With a laptop or tablet being stolen every 53 seconds you can literally lose your mobile device at any minute. Oh, and by the way, you’re losing a lot more than that precious device: sensitive company documents, passwords, credit card information, etc. So what are you doing to protect that phone/iPad/laptop? Apparently very little as only 4% of smartphones have Mobile Device Management security installed on them. Take a look at a few of the scary numbers and some ideas you could implement to protect your device and your precious content.
This design is long, but there’s a lot of information to share. I like the simple color scheme, and there’s some really good data included in here. However, most of the statistics are shown in text only, which is disappointing.
I’ve said it many times here on Cool Infographics. Big fonts are not data visualizations. You want your readers to comprehend and remember the numbers you are showing them in your infographic design. To be successful at that you need to put the numbers into context for the reader, by visually comparing them to another value or showing them the scale of the value.
