Overview
Security concerns have been on the top of the agenda globally with
increased attention on investigations of technical, operational and
psychological countermeasures to cyber-crime. Developing economies are
already shackled by multiple constraints and are therefore lagging in
mounting a serious challenge to cyber-crime. Further, some of the notable
acts of cyber-crime have been reported to be originated in certain
developing countries. It is therefore critical to initiate serious
discussion and develop rigorous solutions to assist countries in this
region to leapfrog to more advanced capabilities in cyber-security.


The intent of this mini-track is to provide a venue to critically discuss
the current state of affairs across developing economies, experiences and
best practices in managing security issues at the national and
organizational levels, important lessons and cases from practice and
strategies to effective fight against the growth of cyber-crime and data
breaches. Research, research in progress studies, and cases from practice
are encouraged.
Suggested (non-exclusive) areas centered on developing economies:
·         Dimensions of social engineering
·         Strategies and mechanisms to combat social engineering
