CONCEPT AND GOAL
----------------
Successful attacks on information systems often combine social 
engineering practices with technical skills. Research in social sciences 
and usable security has demonstrated that insecure behavior can be 
justified from cognitive, emotional, and social perspectives and to 
improve security, technology must adapt to the users.  However, finding 
the right balance between the technical and the social security measures 
remains largely unexplored, which motivates the need for this workshop. 
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.

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.

PROCEEDINGS
-----------
The final proceedings will be published with the ACM International 
Conference Proceedings Series

WORKSHOP TOPICS
--------------
* 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 factors that influence changes in organizations 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
* Interplay of law, ethics and politics with security and privacy measures
* Social engineering, persuasion, and other deception techniques
* Socio-technical analysis of security incidents
* Strategies, methodology and guidelines for socio-technical and 
cyber-security intelligence analysis

We welcome qualitative and quantitative research approaches from 
academia and industry
