A 60-Second Trailer of the 60-Day Report on Cybersecurity
admin
After delivering her report to President Obama last Friday, Melissa Hathaway, the Acting Senior Director for Cybersecurity for the National Security and Homeland Security Councils, today gave RSA Conference attendees in San Francisco a glimpse – what she called a “movie trailer” – into the state of U.S cybersecurity.
According to Hathaway’s 60 second trailer, the key to a cyber secure future lies in cooperation between the public and private sector and a united effort on both a hyperlocal front as well as globally.
A Manhattan Project to Defend Cyber Networks
Melissa Hathaway came across our radar recently when President Obama tasked the former Bush administration aide with leading a...

When businesses fail to make better decisions, they are bound to fail. In fact, studies have shown that most firms fail at strategy formulation and execution rather than product development. Simply put, a business may have the best product in the world, but if it fails to make the right
The invention of Bitcoin and blockchain technology sets the foundations for the next generations of web applications. The applications which will run on peer to peer network model with existing networking and routing protocols. The applications where centralized Servers would be obsolete and data
Net Promoter Score: What a Customer-Relations Metric Can Tell You About Your User Experience
Let’s say that you improve the writing on some web pages or that you improve the usability of the icons in a mobile app. Don’t get too disappointed if the company’s overall NPS remains flat. It’s hard for a single localized design decision to move the needle much on overall customer
Cognitive Maps, Mind Maps, and Concept Maps: Definitions
Cognitive mapping can help UX researchers understand users’ mental models of a system or of a process. This understanding can be crucial when researching complex systems or even when embarking in the design of a new product. Mental-model elicitation is usually carried out through individual
Eartracking: A New UX-Research Method
Also, while an eyetracker is fairly expensive, the supercomputer required for an eartracking study runs close to $100 million. (Luckily we were granted free supercomputer time due to the revolutionary nature of our research.) A bigger supercomputer currently under construction is named after a
The Need for Speed
Conservative use of graphics does not imply boring pages. Much can be done by colored table cells and creative (but restrained) use of different fonts. In particular, style sheets can be used to improve page design without incurring a download penalty. If you are using style sheets (and everybody

The Anti-Mac User Interface (Don Gentner and Jakob Nielsen)
We are not proposing, however, what AI researchers would call a "natural language interface." It seems a computer that can hold a normal conversation with the user will remain in the realm of science fiction for some time yet, and we are interested in computer-human interfaces for the near future
Slider Design: Rules of Thumb
Another major consideration when designing a touch interface is the accessibility of various UI elements. Think about how challenging it would be to interact with a slider control for users with motor difficulties. Would they be able to select a value even close to what they wanted? How much effort
"Get Started" Stops Users
Even within the style quiz, one user maintained the belief that she would get more information about the service as she answered questions: “So it takes me through a quiz that I would guess would help me pick things that are more geared a little bit toward me as I’m shopping. … I’m still
When and How to Create Customer Journey Maps
Successful journey maps require more than just the inclusion of the “right” elements. Journey mapping should be a collaborative process informed by well-defined goals, and built from research. It requires hard work to keep the process on the right track and to build the buy-in needed to
The Distribution of Users’ Computer Skills: Worse Than You Think
You might say that you’re not designing for the whole of the OECD. You’re only designing for the rich and privileged country in which you most likely live. Fair enough, but the conclusions don’t change much, even when we look at the richest countries, as shown in the following chart (which is
Test Paper Prototypes to Save Time and Money: The Mozilla Case Study
Product-help landing pages were the top entry points for the support website, because they were accessed via the Help menu in the products. As the most-viewed page on the support website, the Firefox Help landing page pointed to a lot of useful information, but, with this design, too many people

Smart-TV Usability: Accessing Content is Key
The interface must not only support users in locating specific programs, but it must also support content discovery and browsing. As users browse large sets of content like the channel guide or the On Demand programs, the design of these screens should provide the right information in the right way
Design Critiques: Encourage a Positive Culture to Improve Products
Design critiques should be a key part of the iterative creative process, but incorporating feedback into your team’s existing process is likely to hit obstacles. It is a given that you will experience people and scenarios that make critiques difficult and frustrating. Often the critique goes

What Does Your Credit Card Company Know About You?

JS-Kit Score: Turn Your Site into a Localized Digg

Intelligent Assistants Have Poor Usability: A User Study of Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri
Screen-based assistants that transcribed the user’s query caused issues when the transcription was not instantaneous. One participant thought that, because she did not see any of her spoken words on the screen, Siri hadn’t heard her, so she would repeat those first few words more than once. The
Change vs. Stability in Web Usability Guidelines
Take, for example, the guideline to avoid splash screens. The best-selling Web design book in the 1990s strongly advocated splash screens, which is why I had to campaign so strongly against them in 1999. I don't bother mentioning splash screens in my current courses, however, because no decent
Change vs. Stability in Web Usability Guidelines
Newer Web usability guidelines are likely to prove even more stable than the findings from the 1990s. So far, we have not revised a single guideline that we've discovered in research since 2000. Each time we study something again, the guidelines are reconfirmed. We continue to discover new
