CYBERSECURITY (ANTI)PATTERNS: FRICTIONWARE

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Frictionware is security tooling that forces security teams to spend more time onboarding the tool than focusing on generating results. Some anti-patterns that lead to frictionware are: complex onboarding, weak value proposition, and a lack of integration with existing tools. Frictionware can be avoided by avoiding onboarding altogether, focusing on build-in instead of opt-in, using forcing functions to compel onboarding when required, and working within existing centers of data and attention.
