Nathalie Van Raemdonck

Event date: 17 November 2020

Digital technology has brought much innovation, but has also offered many opportunities for criminals and attackers to disrupt and exploit.

“Security-by-Design” methods are increasingly implemented by coders to stop attackers, but what does this exactly mean for usability designers? This talk will provide some situational awareness for designers and provide insights on cybersecurity threats and common techniques used by attackers. Nathalie will provide examples how certain designs are abused by attackers and how some designs hinder secure behaviour.
