[AISWorld] AMCIS 2013 CFP: Mini-track on Emerging Issues in Information Security

[Humayun Zafar]

The Internet was once considered separate from the world of reality where
virtual was separate from physical and there was clear delineation between
the activities in cyberspace and those that were carried out in the "real"
world of brick and mortar enterprises. Now, organizations are leveraging
the vast resources that are available though the Internet, the World Wide
Web and other network enabled technologies to find and stay connected to
customers.

Concurrent with the marriage between cyberspace and the brick and mortar
world, telephony and information technologies are converging. The advent
of smartphones means that a single device can make calls, send emails,
browse the web, and review documents, and even pay the tab at a Starbucks.
This has resulted in greater need for access to personal information
databases, which has allowed data protection issues to take center stage.
Holding personal information without adequate safeguards may lead to a
disaster. Incidents have shown that organizations lose goodwill, to the
point of bankruptcy, for having failed to address information systems
security, assurance, and privacy issues.

This mini-track will address emerging issues and trends in information
systems security, assurance, and privacy.
