Info Driven Product Design
Nikon Rasumov at BSides Boston 2016
Two of the currently most valued technology skills are that of data scientists and cyber security professionals. It is estimated that there are 1 million job openings for cyber security experts in the US. Information-driven product design uses information theory to combine data and security skills while developing profitable products. Information theory defines a logarithmic measure of information that is impartial to the value of information. This impartial property will guide our product development and on the one hand, enable more data-driven design while on the other hand restrict the information we reveal to the outside world for a potential misuse.
