DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will examine the most common reasons why user
 s shortcut security measures.  Contrary to the thinking of many security p
 rofessionals - expressed in statements such as the 'Users are the Weakest 
 Link' and  'Given a choice between security and Dancing Pigs\, users chose
  Dancing Pigs every time' - users make rational choices about the cost and
  benefit of security measures.  The lesson for designers is that they need
  to take more responsiblity - rather than just passing the buck by present
 ing users with time-and-effort consuming\, impossible choices)\, and impro
 ve accuracy of detecting threats and communicate risks and consequences mo
 re precisely.  But most importantly\, designers need to accept that\, to m
 ake security low-effort and meaningful\, different tasks and contexts need
  different security solutions\, which support individual goals and organis
 ation processes\, rather than fighting them.
