Mini Track: 'Information Systems Security Management'

Abstract

The confluence of information and communication technologies and increased reliance of businesses on such advances has brought a range of information system security issues to the fore. It has indeed become difficult for organizations to protect their information resources with confidence. The past research and practice has mainly relied on technical means to address the security concerns. Although desirable, an exclusive reliance on technical controls falls short of protecting the information resources. As previous research has suggested there are a range of social, organizational and management issues that need to be considered. The “Information Systems Security Management’ minitrack address such IS security issues and present a reference point in providing a direction for addressing IS security issues in organizations. In all we received 11 papers, which were subjected to a rigorous reviewing. Finally six papers were accepted with an acceptance rate at close to 50%. The accepted papers reflect a variety of issues and perspectives in the area of information systems security. There is no doubt that the paper presentations will result in interesting discussions.
