The meme humorously anthropomorphizes a dog a s a cybersecurity specialist, reflecting the need to consider user characteristics when designing interactive cybersecurity systems. This highlights the importance of HSI in cybersecurity; just like a system that works for humans wouldn’t work for a dog, a system designed without considering the unique needs, characteristics, and limitations of its human users can lead to inefficiencies or even vulnerabilities. Through HSI, we better align human-computer interfaces with the cognitive and physical abilities of the end-users, to improve both productivity and security.
