Our next Online Meetup-Workshop November 19th 6:30pm: Usability in Privacy and Security (with Kompetenzzentrum Usability)
People are often seen as the weakest link in Information Security.
This evening we will touch two topics associated with protecting data: Information Technology Security which is basically protecting the illegal use of data and Data Protection which is regulating the legal use of data.
Both sides often have been and still are designed without the user in mind.
One the one hand side we sometimes have security certified processes which are not lived by people working with theses processes (e.g. password protected but the user writes the password on a piece of paper). On the other side for example we have privacy policies which nobody reads or understands in terms of their consequences.
So how can we improve improve security and privacy for the user?
Join us on November 19th at 6:30 pm for a panel discussion with Information Security experts and a talk on how to redesign law from a user perspective.
