Dr. Jennifer Golbeck, TED Talk Favorite, to Present Industry Keynote at Enfuse™ 2016


Guidance Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: GUID), makers of EnCase®, the gold standard for digital investigations and endpoint data security, today announced that computer scientist Dr. Jennifer Golbeck, Director Emeritus of the Human-Computer Interaction Lab and Director of the Social Intelligence Lab at the University of Maryland, will deliver the industry keynote at the Enfuse™ Conference on Wednesday, May 25, 2016 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

While information security teams tend to point to people as the weakest link in cybersecurity approaches, world-renowned TED talk presenter and Slate contributor Dr. Jennifer Golbeck has a diametrically opposed viewpoint: Her work at the Human-Computer Interaction Lab has shown that marginalizing the usability of security systems for non-technical users raises organizational risk. At Enfuse 2016, she will present three simple changes that can make security systems more secure and simpler to use, thereby increasing adoption and lowering risk.

"We're very excited to feature Dr. Golbek at our industry conference and expect her keynote to spark new channels for innovative problem-solving at Enfuse 2016", said Michael Harris (News - Alert), Chief Marketing Officer at Guidance Software. "Her expertise on how people interact with data, technology and security systems should help elevate the conversation for our deeply technical attendee community, who represent the best of the best in their own security, legal, and digital investigations professions."
