The 15th Annual Workshop on the Economics of Information Security (WEIS
2016)
University of California, Berkeley, June 13-14, 2016


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, examined human behavior surrounding security decision-making,
identified market failures surrounding Internet security, quantified risks
of personal data disclosure, and assessed investments in cyber-defense.
WEIS 2016 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.

Early registration for WEIS 2016 ends in just 10 days! Registration
information and other details can be found here:

Also, there are scholarships available for students at U.S. institutions,

details.

WEIS 2016 will feature a keynote by Hal Varian, Chief Economist at Google,
as well as a panel on the security economics of surveillance, moderated by
Ross Anderson (Professor of Security Engineering, Cambridge University).
The panelists will include Jim Baker (General Counsel, FBI), Martin Libicki
(Senior Management Scientist, RAND), Rick Salgado (Director for Law
Enforcement and Information Security Matters, Google), and Ashkan Soltani
(former Chief Technologist, FTC).
