The problem of cybercrime is diverse, encompassing data theft, fraud, espionage, and computer compromises. All of these issues affect individuals, organizations, and government alike, with serious consequences for victims. To improve our understanding of these issues and improve the response to threats around the world, researchers and practitioners are invited to attend the Fourth Annual MSU Interdisciplinary Conference on Cybercrime to be held at the Kellogg Center on Thursday March 2nd and Friday March 3rd, 2017 (for more info, see http://cj.msu.edu/programs/interdisciplinary-conference-cybercrime/).
This two-day event drawing top academic and practitioners from information security, computer science, and the social sciences from around the world to discuss the problem of cybercrime. The event provides a venue for research presentations to discuss cybercrime and cybersecurity practices, as well as find common questions and problems that will improve the state of cybersecurity globally. Presentations will focus primarily on issues related to hacking, malware, fraud, vehicle cybersecurity, and critical infrastructure protection with a mix of technical and non-technical discussions.
