Enterprise Security, Simplified.
The Challenge
Threatcare was a breach-and-attack simulation platform for enterprise security teams to safely test defenses and triage threats. The challenge was to take a highly technical, complex domain and make it usable, clear, and trustworthy for analysts and leadership alike.
How I Tackled It
As Head of Product Design, I guided the early product through a lean design sprint. The goal was to quickly validate concepts, identify usability risks, and shape a product direction that balanced technical accuracy with simplicity.
From Sketch to Prototype
In under two weeks, I mapped key workflows, sketched scenarios, and built a clickable prototype focused on the riskiest flows: scenario setup, results triage, and MITRE ATT&CK mapping. We put it in front of our customers (security analysts and SOC engineers), using their feedback to refine flow efficiency and clarify language. This early loop helped us move forward with confidence, while avoiding wasted engineering cycles.
The Impact
The sprint informed a UI that grouped findings by tactic, surfaced scenario context, and attached incident evidence for faster handoffs. By validating early, we shortened decision cycles, reduced design risk, and built credibility with our technical users.
Why It Matters
In complex domains like cybersecurity, clarity is just as critical as functionality. Rapid prototyping and feedback not only improved the product, but also created trust with users and stakeholders, an essential ingredient in making a high-stakes security platform successful.
