The Security design principles are crucial for your work as a cybersecurity professional, they will not only help you do really well, they will also help your work stand out. Psychological Acceptability is defined as “the protection mechanism should be easy to use, at least as easy as not using it” and here comes the struggle of wanting to make controls easier to use while still providing high level security. Kip mentions the term “False sense of security” which is really common in the field where you as a cybersecurity professional are under the impression that you have everything under control while in fact you are missing a lot of risks due to your workforce not psychologically accepting the high level controls put in place and trying to find workarounds to make their jobs more convenient. In the end, Jason discusses Password Managers, which is a great example of Psychological Acceptability, and how it can be one of the few controls in cybersecurity where you can increase security and productivity at the same time.
