Track: Information Systems Security, Assurance, and Privacy
Mini-track: Cybercrime and IT Misuse

This mini-track aims to encourage research that provides insights into the issue of cybercrime and IT misuse. The cybercriminal activities are rapidly evolving, with new techniques being developed and exploited by hackers worldwide. Organizations are also witnessing constant IT misuse by insiders leading to significant security issues. As cybercrime continues to increase, we need a greater understanding of ways to de-incentivize the impetus which drives individuals and groups to commit these crimes. 

Few topics of interest include (but not limited to):

·      Understanding cybercrime activities
·      Hacker motivations
·      Technical-social aspects of cybercrime
·      Legal challenges to cybercrime
·      Cybercrime and societal implications
·      Understanding IT misuse
·      Ethical aspects of IT misuse
·      IT misuse detection and investigation
·      Organizational countermeasures to prevent IT misuse

Please feel free to email any inquiries on potential papers for submission.
