Explore a holistic approach to understanding technology risks through the lens of digital product safety in this 17-minute conference talk from USENIX Security '25. Challenge the perception of software as mysterious or novel by examining digital products as simply new categories of consumer goods. Investigate what makes digital products different and more complicated than traditional products, and question whether risks like security and privacy should be viewed in isolation. Analyze the historical parallels between digital product safety and the regulatory evolution of other product categories including cigarettes, alcohol, and automobiles to extract valuable lessons for managing technology risks. Learn how adopting a comprehensive digital product safety framework can provide clearer insights into technology governance and risk management compared to fragmented approaches.
