I am watching a discussion with Dr. Herbert Thompson: "Dr. Herbert Thompson is an internationally renowned expert in application security testing, research and training. He was Security Innovations second employee, joining Founder Dr. James Whittaker in 2002. Dr. Thompson earned his PhD in Applied Mathematics from Florida Institute of Technology and is co-author or editor of 12 books, including How to Break Software Security: Effective Techniques for Security Testing. Dr. Thompson has authored more than 50 academic and industrial articles on software security."
He talks about IT firms forgetting security threats/issues when developing IT products. We as Interaction Designers also stress the importance of user interaction but do we include abusers too? Dr. Thompson talks about an airline incident where he was able to hack into a system due to boredom. He believes that the developers forgot to see the "abuser" point of view. Do you think that this only concern the engineers and programmers or can Interaction Designers provide useful help here? (If they ever think about "abusers") Ali ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
