<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span lang="EN-GB">In today’s hyper-connected organizational environments, the influence of individuals’ behavior on information security and privacy is increasingly difficult to conceptualize. However,
recent advances in related fields such as behavioral operations research, computational economics, and generative social science show much promise in enabling researchers to model human behavior and associated consequences of the modeled activity. Additionally,
ubiquitous computing and pervasive networks enable researchers to capture behavioral data in novel ways. Digital experimentation and the use of wearable devices and/or sensors are examples of new and exciting ways researchers can glean insights into individuals’
behavior. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span lang="EN-GB">This minitrack seeks completed papers and research-in-progress that utilize or exhibit novel approaches to behavioral information security and/or information privacy
issues. These approaches are meant to complement other on-going research efforts in the examination of human behavior and its influence on the security and privacy of information at the personal, organizational, and/or societal levels.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
