Good IT jokes are few and far between, especially when it comes
to cybersecurity. That's why we put on our creativity hats to
brainstorm joke after joke - with a break to pull in a few of
our favorites from the web - for the ultimate result: the
motherlode (or should we say motherboard?) of cybersecurity
jokes and puns. P.S.: we side with Alfred Hitchcock on this
one: puns are the highest form of literature.
Everyone deserves an eye-catching intro to break the ice at the
start of a meeting or spice up a PowerPoint - gotta keep the
CEO's attention somehow! And no joke is complete without the
perfect graphic. Feel free to grab ours and include them in
your next newsletter, quarterly presentation, or for a workday
pick-me-up.
Without further ado, we present.
