Cybersecurity Vulnerabilities - A single human error in server configuration can cost millions, exposing the fragility of current systems [1] - Current cybersecurity measures often fail because they expect perfect user behavior, which is unrealistic [3] - Users commonly reuse passwords, ignore updates, and click on suspicious links, highlighting human fallibility [3] Proposed Solution: Behavioral Biometrics - The industry should shift from building systems against human error to building systems based on it [4] - "Baffins" leverages unique digital fingerprints, such as typing rhythm and hesitation patterns, for identification [5][6] - Imperfections can be used as identifiers, creating a login system that recognizes how a user makes mistakes [6] - The system can detect anomalies, such as unusually quick updates, as potential security threats [6] - Typing rhythm, speed, and pressure can be used as security measures to recognize users [7] Future Vision - Security systems should not expect perfect behavior but instead accommodate user imperfections [8] - The industry should stop chasing perfection and start building systems that work because of imperfections [9] - Perfection itself may be a vulnerability [9]
