Sometimes, as Stuart Moore writes in Wolverine: Under the Boardwalk, you just gotta disappear.

Where does cyber security analysis connect to comics? Article author shathley Q (@uuizardry on Twitter), in his attempt to step away from ComicCon, apparently stepped right back into the world of comics while watching a TEDx talk by cyber security analyst Cris Domas.

 

Domas, overwhelmed at looking through the massive quantities of binary code, discovered that the visual patterns this non-visual data creates could  surface regular patterns…images… shapes..

 

Furthermore, like comics, which depends on images that build on everything from visual symbols to symbolic (iconographic) imagery, it’s possible to use the “sequential” side of the sequential art to further understand and recognize patterns, particularly, for the case of security, where regular, or expected patterns are broken.

 

Shathley Q may, in this article, want to step back a little from comics, but the ethos seems to be everywhere he looks. As should we.
