DESCRIPTION<br></b>
<br>
Information Security Management (ISM) presents a challenging task for individuals, firms and organizations of any size. As hyperconnectivity phenomena grow, we are increasingly more reliant on distributed and online systems, where identifying, evaluating, controlling and managing risks imposed on information assets and respective security controls are becoming more and more problematic. Vulnerability of information assets, respective threat profiles and incident probabilities are now dynamically intertwined, making information security management an unprecedentedly complex practice.<br>
<br>
While there is an abundance of practices and techniques for information security management, there are still many areas of improvement, especially in the underlying theory and rigorously tested methodologies. This minitrack provides a forum for scholars to discuss and reflect on areas of information security management. Topics of interest in our Information Security Management minitrack include, but are not limited to:<br>
<br>
· Asset identification and life-cycle management,<br>
· Certification and accreditation,<br>
· Confidentiality, integrity and availability management,<br>
· Culture, awareness and education,<br>
· Economics or cultural implications,<br>
· Enterprise-level best practices in different industries and environments,<br>
· Ethics and management decisions,<br>
· Identity management in the extended enterprise,<br>
· Incident response and recovery management,<br>
· Operations and administration issues,<br>
· Policy modeling, creation, deployment and employee behavior,<br>
· Regulations, governance and compliance,<br>
· Risk analysis, assessment, measurement and modeling,<br>
· Security models, architectures, design and management,<br>
· Standards, guidelines criteria, their diffusion and limitations,<br>
· Trust models and trust management policies.<br>
<br>
We are open to papers with different research paradigms, methodologies and levels of analysis. We invite both theoretical and empirical papers that are specifically not included in the other specialized mini-tracks of SIGSEC in AMCIS 2013.<br>
