IsacaRoma: Hello, Professor Anderson and thanks for speaking to us. Could you tell us about the Fifth Workshop on the Economics of Information Security (WEIS 2006) ?

Ross Anderson: The Workshop on Economics and Information Security is main annual event for people interested in the interaction between economics and security. It is being held in Cambridge, England, from June 26-28. The economics of security is a hot and rapidly growing field of research.  More and more people are coming to realise that security failures are often due to perverse incentives rather than to the lack of suitable technical protection mechanisms. (Indeed, the former often explain the latter.) Often the people who are in a position to defend a system don't suffer the costs of failure, so they become lazy and careless. While much recent research has been on “cyberspace” secury issues - from hacking through fraud to copyright policy - it is expanding to throw light on “everyday” security issues at one end (such as whether we spend too much or too little on police and on insurance) and to provide new insights and new problems for theoretical computer scientists and “normal” economists at the other. In the commercial world, as in the world of diplomacy, there can be complex linkages between security arguments and economic ends.
