I work in infosec as a security engineer, I agree with this more than anything else anyone has posted about the state of the security industry on HN, ever.
For security being a human problem, I have yet to meet infosec types with strong backgrounds in human factors or product design. Nearly everyone came to this industry from netsec/IT/SOC work, or low-level programming, and neither group has a decent understanding of the usability issues that plague the security posture of common users. What works for a CLI junkie with deep systems knowledge absolutely fails people who barely know how to navigate their Android phone.
If anyone's interested in attempting to solve some of these design pattern issues, please reply here or DM me on Twitter. I'd love to actually get a group of people together trying to come up with standard, secure UX paradigms that can be referenced by others.
