Building Security Programs to Account for Human Behavior

Building effective security programs that account for human behavior is crucial. Many scams and attacks are designed to trick people, so it is important to understand that users will inevitably make mistakes. Instead of blaming and managing users like children, security practitioners should focus on educating and empowering them as accountable adults. The expectations we have on our users need to be clear, and security programs should be designed to support them rather than punish them. Additionally, systems should be designed to account for human failure and manage the containment of attacks.
