Designing security that empowers the user is hard, which is why most security software doesn't. Most security measures do their best to remove control from the user and anchor trust in the hands of the vendor. In addition to being easier, it also makes the customer dependent on the vendor for their security.
Security can (and should) put the user in control, but designing it takes more effort and consideration. This talk will explain some of the problems with vendor-centric security design and use real-world examples to show how to design security that puts the user in control.
