2018 Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS), New Orleans, LA.

Track: Information Security and Privacy
Mini-track: Digital Crimes, Forensics, and Post-Incident Management


Dear Colleagues,


We are inviting submissions to the mini track titled “Digital Crimes,
Forensics, and Post-Incident Management” under the “Information
Security and Privacy” track in AMCIS 2018. As you have done related
research, it would be really great to have your paper included in our
mini-track. Quantitative, qualitative, and design science research are
all welcome. Please find the corresponding descriptions below.

Track Description

Cyber Security remains a key challenge for organizations despite
massive investments over the last two decades. While technological
advancements have been made to improve cyber defense, human
vulnerabilities have become the weakest link in security. High profile
events such as defections, espionage, and massive data breaches have
led the public to question their own expectations of privacy. While
there is an abundance of practices and techniques for employing cyber
security, many hard problems remain unanswered.

The purpose of this track is to provide a forum for theoretical
developments, empirical research findings, case studies,
methodologies, artifacts, and other high-quality manuscripts.
Sponsored by SIGSec, we seek to address important questions arising
from emerging developments in information security, such as: security
analytics, financial crimes, security analytics, and digital
forensics? How do system defenders share information to mitigate
vulnerabilities and exploits? Does pervasive data collection deter
privacy-conscious individuals? Do regulations and policies influence
employee security behaviors and organizational security postures?

Mini-Track Description

Many organizations experience security breaches (e.g., data breaches)
and each incident affects a victim organization with respect to its
brand image and customer loyalty. To respond to a security incident,
organizations draw on digital forensics techniques to determine cause,
prosecute offenders, and provide insight into the attack vectors
deployed. Meanwhile, organization leaders adopt management strategies
to alleviate the adverse impacts of an attack on affected employees or
customers. This mini-track seeks studies exploring how technical and
managerial options can strengthen an organization’s security posture
and minimize the likely impacts of security incidents. Examples topics
include: (a) the impact of digital forensics approaches, techniques,
and/or tools on an organization’s defense posture and residual risk,
(b) digital forensic case studies, (c) forensic data analytics and
organizational performance, (d) security policies, investment, and
educational programs, (e) economic impacts of security incidents on an
organization, (f) affective and behavioural responses of individual
victims such as employees or customers, (g) risk communication and
compensation strategies on affected victims, and (h) other topics
related to organizational digital crimes and responses.


Completed Research and ERFs submissions are due by February 28th 2018.
