“What if the weakest link in cybersecurity was actually the best place to start designing smarter systems? Crista Nunez thinks it is — and she’s betting on the human factor.”
Crista Nunez is a user experience designer who doesn’t just design for screens — she designs for how people think, feel, and behave in the face of digital risk. With three master’s degrees—an MBA, a Master’s in Marketing, and an MS in Cybersecurity—plus a CISSP certification, Crista brings together the disciplines of business, design, and technical security to tackle one of cybersecurity’s toughest challenges: human risk.
At Proofpoint, she has led the design of powerful security products including Human Risk Explorer, Insider Threat, Endpoint DLP, and CASB—translating dense technical insight into clear, intuitive, behavior-aware experiences. She’s also worked on projects that merge data sources into individual risk profiles, helping organizations see not just systems, but people — and the patterns behind their actions. Her work on data lineage visualizations has helped security teams trace the path of sensitive data across platforms in a way that makes sense to both analysts and end users.
Before Proofpoint, Crista brought that same human-centered philosophy to Ford Motor Company, where she helped deliver telematics data—the complex data flowing from connected vehicles—in a way that was meaningful and understandable for everyday drivers. It wasn’t just about data access; it was about data empathy.
Crista believes that real cybersecurity doesn’t just protect systems — it empowers people. And to design truly secure products, we have to stop thinking of users as the problem, and start designing as if they are the solution.
