SCOPE

Information Security Management is an issue that managers and decision makers have to deal with, especially when the organization's activity deeply depends on IT resources. Speed and flexible operations promoted by information and communication technologies leads organizations to become heavily dependent on the performance of their information systems to enhance business operations, facilitate management decision-­-making, and deploy business strategies. However, all these benefits come with the cost of increasing threats, even with the ability to shut down the organization. Caring about information security is no more an option, but a management objective. The use of new technologies, the increase use of the Internet and the emergence of the Internet-­-enabled services has promoted a growing interest in the continuously deployment of information security management, in order to ensure the reliability of the organizational information systems.
Currently Security Managers are mainly focused on the management and interpretative techniques to help decision-­-makers, governments, security consultants and researchers to correctly evaluate the massive amounts of data generated by security controls. The analysis of these massive and complex data is extremely difficult, but essential to achieve new discoveries and make efficient business decisions. This special session provides a forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss practical challenges encountered and solutions adopted in the scope of Information Security Intelligence and all related issues.
