In this episode, we sit down with Heidi Trost, author of Human-Centered Security. We will dive into the topic of Human-Centered security, and why HCD is so often overlooked in cybersecurity, the importance of cross-disciplinary efforts, and the value of threat modeling to anticipate human-centered threats.
Security questionnaires report: the impact of automation
Security questionnaires are a massive burden. Almost every customer or prospect requires them, and they can be lengthy, repetitive, and require manual back and forth that distracts security teams from actually running their security program.
But, using automation, industry-leading companies complete security questionnaires up to 5x faster. No more clunky spreadsheets or long email chains. Automation is disrupting the status quo—with proven results.
In this report from Vanta, you’ll learn:
How automation is being used to answer security questionnaires
How much time real companies save by automating security questionnaires
How often teams do—and do not—have to step in to review auto-generated answers

Human-Centered Design/User Experience is something so often neglected when it comes to cybersecurity. I had a ton of fun chatting with Heidi on this one including:
Why the topic of Human-Centered Design/User Experience get neglected in Cybersecurity and what Heidi defines as “Human-Centered Security”
The negative consequences and risks that emerge from neglecting HCD/UX when it comes to security
The importance of cross-disciplinary involvement and collaboration when it comes to Human-Centered Security, much like DevSecOps, but with HCD/UX involved
How teams can leverage existing activities such as Threat Modeling and other tried and true security practices to incorporate Human-Centered Security
