How much should we spend on security? What incentives really drive
privacy decisions? What are the trade-offs that individuals,
firms, and governments face when allocating resources to protect
data assets? Are there good ways to distribute risks and align
goals when securing information systems?
The 2007 Workshop on the Economics of Information Security will
discuss original research papers on topics related to the
economics of information security and the economics of
privacy.
The program is now available online:

will be included in the informal pre-proceedings that will be
distributed during the Workshop. All interested parties from
academia and the public and private sectors are invited to attend.
