Purchase A License To Use This Image Buy A Print Or Product Featuring This ImageSecurity in the cloud is clearly illustrated in this image of a lone cloud, wrapped in barbed wire, in a blue summer sky. Barbed wire is an iconic symbol of both repression and security. Clouds are fast becoming the iconic symbol of online computing, Internet networks, and wireless connections both for business and with social media. Combining the image of a cloud with that of barbed wire, especially by having the cloud wrapped in barbed wire, creates a powerful and compelling message about both security in the digital age and also the possibility of repression or censorship.
Barbed wire brings up visions of prisons and fierce guard dogs behind chain link fences, and as such, when wrapped around a cloud as in this image, becomes a perfect symbol of repression and censorship relating to the Internet and online communications. In addition, this cloud wrapped in barbed wire photo has been carefully composed to both offer ample copy space and easy cropping to square, vertical or horizontal formats.
As the Internet of things becomes all more encompassing and ubiquitous, images such as this one featuring a cloud surrounded by barbed wire, become more important for drawing attention to and communicating about the risks, dangers, and security challenges of Internet use. At the same time, depending on the headline, the image can also be about censorship and oppression around digital communications, social media and the Internet.
The barbed wire can be in reference to hackers, computer viruses denial of use attacks and even spam. The barbed wire can be firewalls, passwords or other protective measures.
