In this episode, we talk about:

Human-centered design: what is it and why is it important? (we talk about Nielsen Norman Group co-founder and author of the Design of Everyday Things, Don Norman, who has a great video describing the principles of Human-Centered Design)
The complicated cybersecurity ecosystem and the challenges it presents when designing user experiences.
How great user experiences in cybersecurity are "a human and a technology problem to solve."
How to speak the language of stakeholders by using metrics, including the PURE Method, which Christian co-developed.
