There is an urgent need for a comprehensive solution to secure the safe transmission of information from point A to B. Transferring private and important data over the Internet can expose users to the prying and hacking of ruthless cyber-criminals.
#STACK SPORTS PCI SOFTWARE#
Personal computers and corporate computers alike require protection from predators, viruses, and software created to gather such data for ill purposes, including stealing money, data, or personal identities. The sculpture of the fist attempting to break through the firewall, but being prevented from doing so, illustrates the basic strength of the essential software called a firewall. Color and texture and an elevated view of the subject are some of the identifying characteristics of all my work.Īrtist: Eric Thorsen Title: "Impenetrable Firewall" It was important to me to be true to my style.
While creating this painting, I strove to combine my current theme of neighborhoods with that of data networks. I was raised before the computer era, so conceptualizing a breach in security brings to my mind the "olden tools" used by a thief in the "olden days." PCI is a difficult concept for people like me to comprehend, but the theme is SECURITY!Īrtist: Sue Averell Title: "Network Neighborhood" Knowing that the cards are secured wherever they are used is even more empowering.Īrtist: Larry Janoff Title: "Failed Breach" The bright pop-art colors are appropriately American. Credit cards are as American as apple pie and baseball. The circle completes the world of secure data.Ī stack of credit cards is completely tantalizing eye candy. The lock is in the shape of the globe with the numbers being the security element. I started with a dark background, adding a layer of semi-transparent red eyes representing the checks and balances of the program, and also doubling as a "who else is looking" aspect. Since the image was planned for a myriad of viewing possibilities and would also be viewed worldwide, it needed to illustrate the complex, layered concept of the product yet be simple. Since the subject is technical in nature, this project needed subtlety and a connection to human elements. Restricting access to data with user IDs and passwords secures lock doors where sensitive data is stored.Īrtist: Matt Foster Title: "Worldwide Data Safety" The credit card contained inside the lock illustrates how personal data can be withheld and protected from anyone not having the correct "key" or password. Layers of my piece are deliberately transparent and overlapping to convey "intrusion."Ī cacophony of numbers, letters, codes, and secret passwords represent our pathetic defense against the onslaught of HTML bad guys trying to steal our encrypted data.Īrtist: Eric Thorsen Title: "Information Lock Down" He lurks behind the scrim of a loosely drawn human profile, encroaching upon the imperfect water color of a human head with its fingerprint brain. I used the universal symbol of theft, the generic black-cloaked burglar. To communicate how our uniqueness is so often diminished and violated and "stolen" these days. I thought to depict one's interior and deeply personal DNA. When I thought of encrypted data, I thought of a human fingerprint and how it is literally a manifestation of what is inviolably unique about us. This piece is about encrypted data and the bad guys who steal it.

Each artist was given a description of the 12 requirements of PCI, general networking information, an overview of data security, and a description of Cisco's PCI solution.
