It is
rapidly becoming apparent that applying economic principles to cyber and
national security issues is of paramount importance. Thus, over
the last several years researchers interested
in the intersection between economics and information security have been
holding a Workshop on Economics and Information Security (WEIS). WEIS
provides an annual forum for discussion on issues of major importance to
individuals interested in cyber and national security.
The
first WEIS Forum was held at UC-Berkeley (2002). Since then forums
have been held at such universities as Harvard, University of Maryland,
Dartmouth, Carnegie Mellon, and Cambridge. The "Gordon-Loeb
Model" has been one focal point of discussion at many of these
forums.
