In our modern information societies, we not only use and welcome
computers; we are highly dependent upon them. There is a downside
of this kind of progress, however. Computers are not 100% reliable.
They are insecure. They are vulnerable to attackers. They can
either be attacked directly, to disrupt their services, or they can
be abused in clever ways to do the bidding of an attacker as a
dysfunctional user. Decision-makers and experts alike always
struggle with the amount of interdisciplinary knowledge needed to
understand the nuts and bolts of modern information societies and
their relation to security, the implications of technological or
political progress or the lack thereof. This holds in particular
for new challenges to come. These are harder to understand and to
categorize; their development is difficult to predict. To mitigate
this problem and to enable more foresight, The Secure Information
Society provides an interdisciplinary spotlight onto some new and
unfolding aspects of the uneasy relationship between information
technology and information society, to aid the dialogue not only in
its current and ongoing struggle, but to anticipate the future in
time and prepare perspectives for the challenges ahead.
