Submission  deadline: June 15, 2013 

We have heard and read  many times in the last several decades that the 
most important asset of an  organization is the knowledge of its employees. 
While this knowledge can be a  target of sophisticated cyber-attacks or fraud, 
most likely the leaking of  knowledge can happen because of careless 
organizational practices, asset misuse,  or behavior of employees. Organizations 
put in place many technology-based  security measures (firewalls, filtering 
systems) to guard against attacks, yet  it is not that easy to guard against 
the human-side of security practices. An  organization can have the best 
security technology in place, yet a careless  employee talking or emailing or 
posting on Facebook about the ‘new development’  at the company bypasses all 
this security technology with ease.   
Furthermore, one can  find lot of information about current projects done 
by a company by searching  the web. How can an organization effectively 
protect its intellectual property  remains an unanswered question. What type of 
security and intelligence  techniques are out that that can protect the 
intellectual property? What are the  best ways to train employees so that they 
would spot potentially criminal  activity, such as fraud, among employees? 
Could crowdsourcing be used in this  case, meaning asking employees to vote on 
a particular issue to determine  whether it represents a potential threat?  
This mini-track seeks  papers that investigate issues related to security 
and protection of  intellectual assets and explore how organizations can use 
security measures to  protect their KM practices. Possible topics include, 
but are not limited  to: 
·         Securing intellectual  assets; 
·         Techniques used to scan  employee communication channels (e.g., 
email, Facebook, text messages);   
·         Security strategies  within and outside the company boundaries; 
·         Training employees on  potential threats to security breaches; 
·         Preventative measures to  secure KM assets; 
·         Knowledge loss risk  management; 
·         Impact of immigration  and cultural issues on potential KM 
security breach; 
·         Using KM security to  mitigate impacts of retirement and worker 
transience; 
·         Measuring risk of  knowledge loss due to security breach; 
·         Security models and  architectures for knowledge systems; 
·         Modeling risk in  knowledge systems; 
·         Tradeoffs in knowledge  systems between security and knowledge 
sharing; 
·         Technologies for  knowledge system security. 
How to Submit a Paper:  Follow Author Instructions on the conference web

Submit a paper to only  one Minitrack. If a paper is submitted to more than

without consultation with author or  other chairs.  If you are not sure of the 
appropriate Minitrack, submit an  abstract to the Track Chair(s) – see names 
and contact information below, for  determination, and/or seek informal 
opinion(s) of Minitrack Chair(s) before  submitting. 
Do not author or  co-author more than 5 papers. This means that an

Track Chairs must  approve any names added after submission or acceptance 
on August  15.
