In this brief monologue, Becky Holmes stresses that cybersecurity tools and technologies must be designed with everyday users in mind. She argues that developers need to test their solutions on people who lack technical expertise—like herself and her mother—to ensure the products are understandable and not intimidating. Holmes warns that sophisticated technology is useless if the intended audience is frightened or unaware of how to use it, urging a focus on the real end‑users when creating cybersecurity solutions.

Chapters

Think about who it is that you're trying to help at the end.
