Manage episode 386497456 series 2836702
Ever wonder what it’s like to design enterprise cybersecurity software? Tom Keenoy, a design leader for a cybersecurity company, explains why what you learned in design school may not apply when you’re building software for specialized power users (think: security analysts, IT administrators, devops).
- How do you get up-to-speed when designing for complex domains like cybersecurity?
- How do you adapt your design process for enterprise power users (spoiler: stripping away information isn’t always the right answer)?
- How to prioritize when “everyone wants to build all the cool things.”
- Why Tom thinks much of a designer’s job is “de-risking.”
- The most important skills designers need to be successful in building enterprise security software.
