<br>Overview<br>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.</p>
<p style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br>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.<br>
Suggested (non-exclusive) areas centered on developing economies:<br>· Dimensions of social engineering<br>· Strategies and mechanisms to combat social engineering<br>· Secured software development life cycle management<br>
· Secured data and data management<br>· Digital forensics and cryptography<br>· National Cyber-security Strategies<br>· Trust and data security and privacy<br>· Online protection of children<br>
