Security is Product Management: A Podcast with Nadav Benbarak
Jenna Kozel June 12, 2015
Our very own Nadav Benbarak recently sat down with Alpha UX’s Mike Fishbein for his “This is Product Management" podcast series to share his perspective on security opportunities, balancing user experience with security and what organizations can do to be more secure.
You can the find entire podcast below – but if you don’t have 30 minutes to listen in full, here are five highlights:
2) Establish Trust Above All Else: All software providers are actually in the security business – one that’s predicated on trust. Transitioning company data from proprietary data centers where organizations physically control and maintain those assets, and allowing another company to house it elsewhere, is a big deal for IT. As large organizations continue to adopt cloud software (remember, only about 10 percent of enterprise software spend is SaaS), demonstrating sound security practices to customers is essential.
3) We’re All In This Together: Whether targeting enterprises or consumers, everyone needs to think about building security into applications. Low assurance products that don't claim to offer security have a major responsibility to be secure. They may seem innocuous and inconsequential in the grand scheme of things, but they’re subject to being breached or exploited to access and use login information elsewhere.
5) Keep Your Eye On Mobile Security: Put simply, companies are failing to make mobile devices secure. In fact, the focus on securing device versus users themselves is a problem in itself. And while Android and iOS are the two front-runners in the enterprise market, and both are making significant investments in security postures, there’s a long way to go. Once crevices start to appear, new battles will be played out, creating opportunities for new innovation and opening up new customer segments that aren’t served by existing players.
