<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 13pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; ">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; ">The rapid growth of the Internet and mushrooming advances in telecommunications, networking, and data transmission and storage techniques have improved personal and organizational communications but also exposed them
to unforeseeable threats in the inter-connected cyber world. Therefore it is imperative to understand the behaviors, regulations, laws, strategies, technologies, and policies associated with end-users, groups, organizations, and societies that address security
and privacy issues.</span><span style="font-family: 'MS Mincho'; ">
</span><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; ">The Information Systems Security and Privacy track provides a forum for researchers to exchange ideas and discuss on security and privacy
research. We seek to address such pivotal questions as: How are organizational and/or individual information risks remedied? What is the perception of privacy and security versus organizational and/or individual decision-making? How can individuals or organizations
move towards a more secure computing environment? What is the role of culture in the development and implementation of secure technologies in the globe? How do online social networks threaten the security and privacy of online users? What are the underlying
economic or cultural implications of new security? How to design and develop more effective security and privacy regulations and policies?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 13pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; ">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; ">The track welcomes both empirical and theoretical submissions using design science, behavioral, empirical, economic, and managerial approaches.</span><span style="font-family: 'MS Mincho'; ">
