Track Description:

New paradigms in personal, social, and organizational computing defy old
assumptions of information system security. High profile events such as
defections, espionage, and massive data breaches have led the public to
question their own expectations of privacy. Together, these issues present
significant challenges for individuals, businesses, government agencies,
and policy makers.



The purpose of this track is to provide a forum for theoretical
developments, empirical research findings, case studies, methodologies,
artifacts, and other high-quality manuscripts. Sponsored by SIGSec, we seek
to address important questions arising from emerging developments in
information security, such as: What is the influence of security education,
training, and awareness (SETA) programs on policy compliance? How do system
defenders share information to mitigate vulnerabilities and exploits? Does
pervasive data collection deter privacy-conscious individuals? How do fear
appeals influence decision making? What is the role of digital forensics in
combating cyber security offenses? How do online social networks threaten
the security and privacy of participants? What are the underlying economics
or cultural implications of new security technologies? Do regulations and
policies influence employee security behaviors and organizational security
postures?



Mini tracks/ suggested topics:

•             Security education, training and awareness (SETA) programs

•             Methodological issues within Cyber Security Research

•             Digital forensics

•             Investigations of individual behavior, both positive and
negative

•             Detecting and mitigating insider threats

•             Security and privacy metrics

•             Security policy compliance research

•             Risk assessment and management

•             Trust in security and privacy enhancing systems

•             Compromises to information confidentiality, integrity, and
availability

Other titles and topics are welcome as long as they relate to the general
topic area of information system security, assurance, and privacy.
