The Workshop on the Economics of Information Security (WEIS) is the leading forum for interdisciplinary scholarship on information security, combining expertise from the fields of economics, social science, business, public policy, law, and computer science. Prior workshops have explored the role of incentives between attackers and defenders, identified market failures in Internet security, quantified risks of personal data disclosure, and assessed investments in cyber-defense. This year's workshop will build on past efforts using empirical and analytic tools to not only understand threats, but to strengthen security and privacy through novel evaluations of available solutions.



We have assembled an exciting program of 20 peer-reviewed papers from leading researchers. Sessions include:

-          Cybercrime Research

-          Pervasive Monitoring Threats

-          Economics of Security Models

-          Credit and Debit Card Security

-          Cryptocurrencies and Virtual Currencies

-          Empirical Privacy Research



The program also features panels with distinguished speakers on the topics of:

-          Genome Privacy (Moderator: Ross Anderson)

-          Cognitive Security (Moderator: David Reitter)



We encourage scholars, policy makers, and industry experts interested in both market and policy solutions for cybersecurity to attend this workshop.  It will be of interest to economists, computer scientists, business school researchers, legal scholars, and government administrators.
