Human-Centered Security

In our interconnected world, we face a complex cybersecurity ecosystem where digital vulnerabilities can have far-reaching consequences. Threats to digital infrastructure often impact critical physical systems, potentially causing real-world harm. With AI agents set to handle extensive personal information, data security and privacy are more crucial than ever.

Human-Centered Security targets professionals designing digital products that handle sensitive data: UX designers, engineers, and product managers. It’s also for those responsible for securing organizational data and systems: security engineers, CISOs, CIOs, and teams focused on risk management, legal, privacy, and compliance.

These professionals influence security-related behaviors and possess deep knowledge of threats to their products or organizations. This places a significant responsibility on them to design resilient systems that encourage safer outcomes.

This book will help you focus on areas of the user experience where security impacts users the most; understand the dynamics of the security ecosystem; find your security UX allies; ask better questions when talking to your cross-disciplinary team; and more.
