Key Takeaways:
Herd Mentality - Cybercriminals are always going for the easiest target so even a bit of extra security can make you look unappetising and unappealing to a hacker.
Being Secure is Never the Primary User Goal - Security should be invisible but that can only be achieved if you think in a humancentric way or utilise the principles of user experience, behavioural science and psychology.
Your Cybersecurity Team is Likely to be Overwhelmed - So give them a hand. If you want the to loosen up a security control, do you research! Explain why you need a certain library, for example, and explain how you intend to manage the risks. Don’t expect the cybersecurity team to have the time to do all the research for you!
Product Security Might be the Answer to Good Security - Why a holistic approach is the best approach to securing the products you are building.
