Our own Marvin Marin was interviewed for an article in GovTechWorks about cybersecurity. The article focused on balancing security on one hand and user convenience on the other hand when thinking about encryption. Marvin’s quote was used to sum up the piece:
Usability is paramount, or users will seek work-arounds and the security will be defeated before it starts. “The business of IT is to support the mission of an organization,” Marin said. “And any implementation that runs counter to that will cause a user acceptance issue. Wield too heavy a hand, and you can lock yourself out of your own data.”
