Title Usable Security: The Psychology of IT Security and Data Protection
Description In today's digital age, security measures are paramount to protect sensitive data and maintain user trust. However, the effectiveness of these measures depends not only on their technical strength but also on their usability. Usable security ensures that security protocols and mechanisms are not only robust but also user-friendly, reducing the likelihood of user errors and security breaches. By aligning user needs and behaviors with security goals, usable security promotes a safer digital environment without compromising the user experience.

This interdisciplinary seminar is offered by the Institute of Psychology in collaboration with the Institute of Computer Science. Students of psychology and computer science will work together and benefit from interactions with participants of the other field.
