    Security by behavioral design: Testing the nudges that inspire secure decisions

    During this presentation for imbus AG, Dr. Erlijn van Genuchten explained that in an increasingly digital world, cyber-security breaches are more and more likely. That is why security by design is extremely important: security should be taken into account from the start and throughout the whole software’s life-cycle. But even when software can be considered safe from a technical point of view, security weaknesses can still be caused by humans, for example by choosing weak passwords. In this workshop, we dig into how nudging can be used to inspire users to make secure decisions and how to test software for such security by behavioral design principles. Here, a distinction is made between social engineering attacks on humans and nudges in the software to trigger secure behavior. This tutorial includes a practical part, allowing you to apply what you learned to your day-to-day work.
