“If It’s Not Usable, It’s Not Secure” by Maggie Law, Director of Product Design at Okta
In the field of user experience, the term 'usability' combines themes of learnability, familiarity, and facility in performing tasks. Security, defined simply as freedom from danger or threat, has historically been ignored as baked into any feature by default. But increasingly, security has become necessary – even urgent – to incorporate into our understanding of usability. I’ll reflect on my own thoughts about how these two concepts have converged over my 20-year career in UX and Design, and (hopefully) shift how a few attendees think in the process.
