*Overview: *
Astronomical amounts of data are being generated, captured, copied and
stored every day (Overberg and Hand 2021). Statista estimates that by 2025,
the world will have produced over 180 Zetabytes of data (Statista 2023).
Businesses are increasingly relying on that data to gain insights into
their employees (Ng et al. 2021), contractors/suppliers (Wall et al. 2022),
and customers’ behaviors and preferences (Wang et al. 2022). While using
data in creative ways is a powerful tool for driving business growth, it
also presents significant risks (Wynn 2023). The larger the volume of data,
the larger the security risk to the organization (Yi et al. 2023). Further,
the sudden popularity of using AI and other emerging techniques for data
processing and analysis have strong implications for cybersecurity in
organizations.

Humans have been the “weakest link” in the cybersecurity chain (Bulgurcu et
al. 2010) and still continue to be of utmost significance today
(Hughes-Lartey et al. 2021). In a recent report (Verizon 2023), Verizon
reports that 74% of all data breaches involve some degree of human element.
Given the vast volume of data, the negative outcomes of data breaches are
exponentially worse. Governments, organizations, employees, and consumers
all play a role in the mitigation of cybersecurity risk through the
behaviors they encourage or enact to protect the security and privacy of
data (Gupta et al. 2018; Krishna et al. 2022). Examining human behavioral
issues focusing on cybersecurity in this intricate data-driven landscape
will become more and more crucial in this context.

While there have been special issues in the past in *Information Systems
Frontiers (ISF)*, focusing on cybersecurity from the lenses of secure
knowledge management (Hota et al. 2015; Sahay et al. 2021; Samtani et al.
2023), data leakage (Huth et al. 2013), ethics and privacy (Acquisti et al.
2019), foundations (Xu et al. 2021) and economic aspects (Gordon and Loeb
2006), this special issue specifically focuses on emerging behavioral
issues in cybersecurity arising from the present data explosion. This *special
issue* aims to provide insights into both present and future approaches to
cybersecurity by developing theoretical and practical understandings of
behavioral issues in cybersecurity relevant to the industry today. We
welcome conceptual, theoretical, empirical, experimental, methodological,
and practice-based papers that enrich our understanding of cybersecurity in
this present era of data explosion.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Human-centric and behavioral issues in cybersecurity (e.g., insider
threat)
• Cultural issues in security and privacy
• Socio-technical analysis of security and privacy
• Cybercrime, cyber threat intelligence, detection, and mitigation
• Cybersecurity risk analysis, threat assessment and incident response
• Societal and ethical issues in cybercrime
• Cybersecurity education, pedagogy, and skill development
• Future directions in security and privacy

*Queries: *If you have any questions, feel free to contact Sumantra Sarkar
at ssarkar at binghamton.edu

*Submission: *
This special issue will consist of papers from two sources: (1) the best
submissions from an open call for papers, and (2) invited submissions that
are substantial revisions of selected papers accepted at the* 2023 Pre-ICIS
Workshop on Information Security and Privacy (WISP)*. The submitted
manuscript is required to have more than 40% new and original technical or
scientific content, distinct from the conference paper. Authors will be
required to submit a letter detailing the differences between the
conference paper and the version submitted to this special issue of
Information Systems Frontiers (ISF).

All submissions will go through a comprehensive peer review process and
each submission will be evaluated by at least two independent reviewers.
Submissions must be written in proof-read English and submitted in PDF
format via the editorial manager of the journal:
https://www.editorialmanager.com/isfi/default.aspx . (if the link is
already not published it will be done shortly)

To ensure that the manuscripts are correctly submitted to this special
issue, authors must select “Emerging Tech” as the “Article Type.” Authors
should aim at papers of approximately 25 to 30 pages (in the submission
format, 11 Font, 1.5 line spacing, including abstract, figures, tables,
references and appendix), following the submission guidelines from the
journal:
https://www.springer.com/journal/10796/submission-guidelines

*Important Dates: *
- Submission deadline: 1st March 2024
- Notification of first round reviews: 1st July 2024
- Revised manuscript due: 1st October 2024
- Notification of second round reviews: 15th November 2024
- Final version due: 1st Jan 2025
- Tentative publication date: 15th March 2025
