A lack of comprehensive understanding of emerging relationships between technical and socioeconomical-legal perspectives inhibits research to deliver innovation into practical and industrial applications. In the context of cybersecurity, different technologies are deployed alongside other resources across sectors and industries. Efficient and effective deployments of technologies to accommodate emerging user needs could create benefits both for consumers and providers, opening new challenges in terms of security and privacy in the cyber world. The economics of cybersecurity and privacy, in particular, involve brand complexities not fully investigated to date.

This special issue intends to support discussions on the economic aspects of cybersecurity and privacy, taking into account multidisciplinary perspectives. The objective is to provide new insights about the economics of cybersecurity and privacy, the costs-benefits involved in adopting such technologies, the potential investment alternatives and their returns, the behavioral aspects of actors dealing with security and privacy issues, the fostering and hampering effects of privacy and security regulations, and the economic accountability of actors in the cyber world. Relevant topics include but aren't limited to the following:
  • behavioral security and privacy;
  • cyber defense strategy and game theory;
  • economics of information security, privacy and anonymity, and trust;
  • incentives for information security;
  • information stewardship economics;
  • metrics and models for cybersecurity, privacy, and cyber crime;
  • optimal investment in information security;
  • organizational security performance;
  • psychology of risk, security, and privacy;
  • risk management and cyber insurance;
  • security and privacy standards; and
  • socioeconomic-legal impacts of cybersecurity.
