Answer 1

• “Usability” refers to the ease of access and/or use of a product or website.
• usability provide easy for the user to become familiar with and competent ,easy for users to achieve their objective &easy to recall the user interface and how to use it on subsequent visits.
• Cyber security are the techniques of protecting computers, networks, programs and data from unauthorized access.
• Application security focuses on keeping software and devices free of threats
• Cyber security is very important for government, military, corporate, financial, and medical organizations.
• The cyber security include Application Security, Information Security, Disaster recovery, Network Security,Cloud security.
• The cybersecurity provide help to manage security for user and system administaror.
• Responsibilities of a system administrator :
  • Installing network hardware and software
  • Maintaining network and computer system security
  • Training users in proper use of hardware and software
• roles and responsibilities of a security administrator :
  • protect information for implementing and updating software.
  • Conducting penetration test
• Provided that vulnerability research is done ethically, researchers perform an important social function: they provide information that closes the information gap between the creators, operators, or exploiters of vulnerable products and the third parties who will likely be harmed because of them.

• The second reason why security and usability seem to be opposed is the conflict of interest that exists between

  the system owner and its users.

• security-usability have six categories:

  • Authentication: it mainly focus on measuring elements such as memorability or cognition, and efficiency.

  • Encryption: it focus on secure email.

  • Public Key Infrastructure:  The major focus in these studies is on users’ knowledge of particular indicators as well as factors such as vigilance.

  • Device pairing: it focus on efficiency, effectiveness.

  • Security tools: it includes firewalls, password managers.

  • Secure systems: These systems are aimed at achieving user goals but have an element of security.
