Even Experts Deserve Usable Security: Design guidelines for security management systems

Sonia Chiasson, Robert Biddle, Anil Somayaji · 2007

Contrary to end-users, security is a primary task for those charged with the security of system or network. Despite the importance of the task, little is known about how to effectively design interfaces for security management systems. Usability problems in these systems can lead to security vulnerabilities because administrators may miss an attack altogether or misdiagnose it. We examined four different design approaches in order to devise a preliminary set of design guidelines for security management systems. Categories and Subject Descriptors
