Arc4dia
Arc4dia is cyber defense company which helps clients to find weak spots in their companies security systems.I was asked to illustrate specific case studies to show visually how those weak spots are found. Those illustrations are targeted for companies IT specialists - they are kind of technical and advanced. My experience in software engineering and programming made my work of communicating with client understanding and explaining those specifics much easier.

3 ) A handful of interactive sessions were detected over time, eventually providing enough data to do an analysis mapping the activity onto a time zone, days of the week and holidays of a specific country.
