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.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>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.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>This mini-track will address emerging issues and trends in information systems security, assurance, and privacy.<o:p></o:p></p><h1>Suggested Topics<o:p></o:p></h1><p class=MsoNormal>Authors are encouraged to submit original research that pertains to but not limited to the following areas:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>-Impact of emerging technologies such as the cloud on records retention and destruction issues<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>-Security and privacy policies<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>-Security control technologies for customer databases<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>-Recent advances in core security control technologies such as authentication, authorization, auditability, including strong authentication practices and biometrics<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>-Outsourcing and impact on security and privacy<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>-Impact of customer tracking for customizing advertisements and its impact on information security and privacy<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>-Information security and privacy concerns pertaining to use of GPS or location based services commonly found in smartphones<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>-Security and privacy of mobile payments<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>-Emerging trends and practices in information security governance, risk management, and compliance<o:p></o:p></p><p class=Author align=left style='text-align:left'><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><br>Mini-track chairs<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=Author align=left style='text-align:left'><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=Author align=left style='text-align:left'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-weight:normal'>Humayun Zafar, Ph.D.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=Affiliation align=left style='text-align:left'><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Kennesaw State University<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=left style='text-align:left'><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><a href="mailto:hzafar@kennesaw.edu">hzafar@kennesaw.edu</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=Author align=left style='text-align:left'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-weight:normal'>Herbert J.
