CONCEPT
-------
Successful attacks on information systems often combine social 
engineering practices with technical skills, exploiting technical 
vulnerabilities, insecure user behavior, poorly designed user 
interfaces, and unclear or unrealistic security policies. To improve 
security, technology must adapt to the users, because research in social 
sciences and usable security has demonstrated that insecure behavior can 
be justified from cognitive, emotional, and social perspectives. 
However, also adherence to reasonable security policies and 
corresponding behavioral changes should augment and support technical 
security.

Finding the right balance between the technical and the social security 
measures remains largely unexplored, which motivates the need for this 
workshop. Currently, different security communities (theoretical 
security, systems security, usable security, and security management) 
rarely work together. There is no established holistic research in 
security, and the respective communities tend to offload on each other 
parts of problems that they consider to be out of scope, an attitude 
that results in deficient or unsuitable security solutions.

GOAL
----
The workshop intends to stimulate an exchange of ideas and experiences 
on how to design systems that are secure in the real world where they 
interact with non-expert users. It aims at bringing together experts in 
various areas of computer security and in social and behavioral sciences.

INVITED SPEAKER
----------------
Matt Bishop (Univ. California Davis)

WORKSHOP TOPICS
--------------
Relevant topics include but are not limited to:

* Requirements for socio-technical systems
* Feasibility of  policies from the socio-technical perspective
* Threat models that combine technical and human-centred strategies
* Technical and social factors that influence decision making in 
security and privacy
* Balance between technical measures and social strategies in ensuring 
security and privacy
* Studies of real-world security incidents from the socio-technical 
perspective
* Social and technical factors that influence changes in security 
policies and processes
* Lessons learned from holistic design and deployment of security 
mechanisms and policies
* Models of user behaviour and user interactions with technology
* Perceptions of security, risk and trust and their influence on human 
behaviour
* Social engineering, persuasion, and other deception techniques
* Root cause analysis and analysis of incidents for socio-technical 
security incidents
* Strategies, methodology and guidelines for socio-technical and 
cyber-security intelligence analysis
* Nudging to improve security
* User experience with security technologies
