  Security Features vs. Convenience
Time: 06:04 EST/11:04 GMT | News Source: Windows Vista Blog | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

One of the most basic conundrums in computer security is the constant trade-off between security and usability. At the end of the day, if security is too complicated to use, then it simply won't be used. Even if a feature offers a good level of security protections, if it is complicated or has poor usability it will likely be disabled by the end-user or network administrator, which doesn't benefit anyone. The same issue with safety and security exists in the physical world. I remember when car alarms were first available (as an aftermarket product) -- you had to remember to set the alarm after you locked your car and half the time people forgot. Today, many cars come with alarms from the factory and the task of setting the alarm is usually just part of locking the car -- and as a result, alarms get set.

When we set off to make sure that Windows Vista was the most secure version of Windows ever, we had to create security capabilities that we could enable by default and be usable enough to be left on when the system was deployed. There is clearly a balance here because if we lock the system down too tightly, then we risk the majority of customers turning key features off, or even worse, staying on older versions of Windows and thus not realizing the great security benefits of the new system. It's a great irony when you realize that one of the risks of adding more security in the name of making people safer is that users might stay on older versions that, in some ways, appear easier to use but are much less secure than the new system.
