HSD Café: ‘Does Security without Usability Lead to Failure?’

March 30, 2016

The Hague Security would like to cordially invite you to the upcoming HSD-Café on the tradeoff between security and usability. As security measures tend to increase, they oftentimes come at the expense of usability. Complicated passwords containing a variety of symbols, multiple authentication stages, and changing keys are common tools used to enhance security. However, as such procedures are becoming increasingly cumbersome, individuals are more likely to work around them, which increases risk even further. Rather than following the security procedure, they will store data on their personal computer or email it to their private email address. So does security without usability lead to failure?

During our upcoming HSD-Café we have invited a series of experts that will discuss various aspects of the tension between security and usability. Can we have usability in a security system without sensitivity to the work being done? What happens when security procedures become too complex or time-consuming? More importantly, how can we enhance both security and usability? And what are the opportunities to develop solutions for these issues within the HSD network?

Register here.

The HSD Café is set up as follows:

From 16:00 until 16:30, experts will share their insights on the matter through brief presentations. They include:

•Rick van der Kleij (Senior scientist at TNO) will discuss the tension between security and usability and how it affects user experience

•Marc Minnee (Founder of Propulsion) will elaborate on how the government deal with this tradeoff and how HSD Partners can contribute.

•Reinier van der Drift (Founder of HSD Partner Authasas and Business Development Director at Microfocus) will discuss their approach to this field of tension.

At 16:30, the brief presentations will be followed by a discussion, in which the audience will have the opportunity to ask questions and share their views.

From 17:00 onwards, the bar is open for drinks and there will be ample opportunity to network and meet industry experts in this field.
