Workshop on the Economics of Information Security (WEIS) 2020

The Workshop on the Economics of Information Security (WEIS) is the leading forum for interdisciplinary scholarship on information security and privacy, combining expertise from the fields of economics, social science, business, law, policy, and computer science. Prior workshops have explored the role of incentives between attackers and defenders of information systems, identified market failures surrounding Internet security, quantified risks of personal data disclosure, and assessed investments in cyber-defense. The 2020 workshop will build on past efforts using empirical and analytic tools not only to understand threats but also to strengthen security and privacy through novel evaluations of available solutions. Economists, computer scientists, legal scholars, business school researchers, security and privacy specialists, as well as industry experts, are encouraged to submit their research and participate by attending the workshop. Submitted manuscripts should represent significant and novel research contributions.
