Secure-by-Design: How do you Design with a Security Mindset for the User?
How often have you heard about humans being the weakest link? Is there really no way for us to design technologies and processes that are resilient to human error?
The past two decades have shown that when technologies are designed without considering how they can be misused, they provide a very low barrier of entry for threat actors. Though some have learned the lessons from the past, there are still those that continue to build new technologies with the same mindset as before, that is build fast -> exploit arises -> fix bug. By now, we should already have enough lessons to draw from to get as close to secure-by-design as possible.
The presenter will be sharing examples on how to approach this so that more organisations get onboard to deliver technologies and processes that are user-friendly while raising the bar for security.
