Digital Dashboard Leads Way to Cyber Security Readiness
Digital dashboard designers today take a lot for granted. By that I mean they assume that their users have access to broadband speeds as well as modern browsers.
Remember when such assumptions certainly could NOT be made? Back in the day, website designers offered text versions of even simple web pages.
Have you ever heard of offerring both a full (rich interface) and text version of a digital dashboard?
That brings us to today’s
digital dashboard
example. Did you know that in the U.S., all 50 states and the District of Columbia jointly run a collaborative dashboard that tracks the nation’s cyber security status? The Department of Homeland security recognizes the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC) as the national center for the states to coordinate cyber readiness and response. Below is just a screenshot of the dashboard, so use this link to take a look at their nifty flash-based cyber security digital dashboard.
Look at the bottom of the dashboard. Do you notice the link that says Text Version? If you click on it, you get the following version of the dashboard:
Morale of the story: If you have a flash dashboard and your users come from the general web, offer a text version of the digital dashboard so that they can always see the information.

Interesting dashboard - thanks for posting it!
I’ve only just barely looked at it, and already bumped into an “annoyance” though - the “dancing bologna” is getting in the way of reading/seeing the data…
For example, the animated/exploding red dots on the map. You can hover your mouse over the dot to see the name of that location — but when 2 dots have overlapping animated/exploding areas (such as china & korea) then it is *very* hard to get the hover-text to show up.
imho, although dancing bologna (such as animations) is “cute”, it almost always hinders the user in some way, and causes problems.
