CONFERENCE THEME: STRATEGIC POSITIONING
Within the current global context, resilience is a key driver for
various facets of decision-making processes. Information systems
have a critical role to facilitate such processes. Indeed,
information system researchers have pioneered many of the
conceptual tools that this vantage point of decision making
demands. This thematic view of IS will offer IS researchers to
position and present their efforts not only more cohesively but
also will provide a platform to focus on the impact of IS research
to solve ongoing societal challenges. These include a focus on
organisational resilience and sustainability encompassing risk
assessment, cyber threats mitigation, the role of big data,
disaster management, and environmental modelling.
INFORMATION SECURITY TRACK
Ensuring the resilience of organisational systems (not just IT
systems), remains a pressing concern for organisations,
governments and individuals alike. Security attacks in terms of
frequency, scale, diversity and seriousness are unprecedented.
Attacks come from outside as well as within organisational
boundaries, can be malicious, or may be accidental. Additionally,
as information and knowledge is being collected and analysed more
frequently by organisations, unauthorized access and leakage is a
serious problem for organisations. The use of the internet of
things, mobile devices and the like further exacerbates these
issues. A number of controls are used to attempt to mitigate these
issues including policies, strategies, training and technological
controls.
This track welcomes empirical and rich theoretical papers that
provide interesting insights on these and other issues in the IS
sphere from a security and privacy perspective. In particular, we
welcome papers that furnish new and creative approaches to
understanding the modern threat landscape, via new theoretical
lenses, innovative practical contexts, and novel data analysis
techniques. The track welcomes design science, empirical,
economic, managerial, behavioural, and theoretical submissions
across a diverse range of topics-from technical management aspects
to broader social and managerial issues at the individual,
organizational, or societal levels. We invite theoretical
perspectives from behavioural, organizational, cognitive,
cultural, socio-technical, or other lenses for analysis of these
issues.
TOPICS OF INTEREST

IS security and privacy:
* Adoption, use, and continuance of information security
technologies and policies
