This project brings together computer scientists, social scientists, and other stakeholders in an attempt to integrate social sciences into the design of future cyber security mechanisms and systems. The workshop fosters the development of new models of and paradigms for cyber security, and will lead to the development of communities of researchers who today do not interact, but whose cooperative work is necessary for the development of cyber security mechanisms and systems. It will also produce a research agenda in economics and other social sciences related to cyber security that addresses user, economic, and sociopolitical realities. Established economists will interact with computer scientists who believe that a better alignment of incentives is necessary in order to produce more secure systems. Established social scientists will interact with computer scientists and others who believe that advanced technological security systems must also satisfy non-technological constraints (such as easy to use human-computer interfaces and societal acceptability) in order to be effectively used to provide more secure computer systems. This workshop will generate interdisciplinary dialogue among experts in cyber security, computer science, economics, business, government, and public policy. It will catalyze and inform new scholarship on the economic impact and effectiveness of global and national cyber security policies using social sciences perspectives and expertise. By highlighting where current marketplace and other incentives fail and building on the tools from economics and other social sciences to address these issues, this work could lead to the development of actual, working incentives for building cyber security into systems -- rather than the much less effective and much more prevalent security mechanisms that have been added to existing systems. Armed with these results, designers of cyber security systems in mobile, desktop, and network environments will be able to develop more effective mechanisms to solve or mitigate cyber security problems. Cyber security may present challenges for existing social science theories, since cyber security has global and digital underlying problems, rapidly changing and sometimes unidentifiable actors, and accountability difficulties. Thus, this workshop may lead to the refinement of existing theories. Adapting previous work in the social sciences may inform changes in the architecture and design of hardware and software to ameliorate cyber security problems in the future. Clearer understanding of incentive mechanisms to design cyber security systems will encourage the production of more secure systems in the future, thus promoting the progress of science and advancing national defense and international welfare by having more secure systems in place.

该项目汇集了计算机科学家、社会科学家和其他利益相关者，试图将社会科学融入未来网络安全机制和系统的设计中。该研讨会促进了网络安全新模型和范式的发展，并将导致研究人员社区的发展，这些研究人员今天不进行互动，但他们的合作工作对于网络安全机制和系统的发展是必要的。 它还将制定与网络安全相关的经济学和其他社会科学的研究议程，以解决用户、经济和社会政治现实。成熟的经济学家将与计算机科学家互动，他们认为为了产生更安全的系统，有必要更好地协调激励措施。成熟的社会科学家将与计算机科学家和其他人互动，他们认为先进的技术安全系统还必须满足非技术约束（例如易于使用的人机界面和社会可接受性），以便有效地用于提供更安全的计算机系统。该研讨会将在网络安全、计算机科学、经济学、商业、政府和公共政策领域的专家之间展开跨学科对话。它将利用社会科学的观点和专业知识，促进和指导关于全球和国家网络安全政策的经济影响和有效性的新学术研究。通过强调当前市场和其他激励措施失败的地方，并利用经济学和其他社会科学的工具来解决这些问题，这项工作可能会导致制定实际的、有效的激励措施，将网络安全构建到系统中，而不是更少。已添加到现有系统中的有效且更普遍的安全机制。有了这些结果，移动、桌面和网络环境中的网络安全系统设计者将能够开发更有效的机制来解决或减轻网络安全问题。网络安全可能对现有的社会科学理论提出挑战，因为网络安全具有全球性和数字化的潜在问题、快速变化且有时无法识别的参与者以及问责困难。 因此，本次研讨会可能会导致现有理论的完善。 适应以前的社会科学工作可能会改变硬件和软件的架构和设计，以改善未来的网络安全问题。更清楚地了解设计网络安全系统的激励机制将鼓励未来生产更安全的系统，从而通过建立更安全的系统来促进科学进步并促进国防和国际福祉。
