Usable Security

If you really want something you can figure out how to make it happen.Cher

Usable Security

Conventional wisdom suggests that there is always a tradeoff between usability and security when it comes to deploying IT solutions. At Castelain, we don’t limit ourselves to that starting point.

A little imagination

We understand that a successful solution has to appeal to users as much as it has to offer performance and security. That means simplicity, elegance and intuitive design play as important a role at the front end as do the underlying mechanisms at the backend.

We don’t believe combining usability and security is impossible. All it takes is a little bit of imagination, a lot of listening to users and a pragmatic, common sense approach to design.

Solutions for the real world

Castelain has a very strong track record in designing usable, intuitive security solutions that work in the real world.

  • We define intuitive user interfaces that align to what the user really needs to do, rather than what some techo thinks they should understand
  • We are adept at hiding complexity at the backend
  • We offer expert, pragmatic advice on what security mechanisms are really needed and which are industry add-ons, that just get in the way

We are proud to have the one of the strongest records in the APAC region for managing to hide real complexity in implementing invisible, self managed and large scale rollout PKI.
