DESCRIPTION:Many people delay or completely avoid updating the software on
  their devices. This can cause serious issues for security and software ma
 nagement. Most computers are compromised using vulnerabilities for which a
  security update already exists. If users had updated they would have been
  safe. Despite this many users still choose to not update their devices. T
 he fact is that updating software is risky for end users. In this talk\, I
  will discuss my research exploring the reasons people choose to avoid upd
 ating their devices. I will also discuss how these reasons relate to softw
 are design and discuss approaches that will likely improve update installa
 tion rates.
