Information privacy in the health care environment, how eye tracking and memory explain susceptibility to phishing scams, mobile information privacy and the motivation of hackers are just a few of the topics to be covered at a conference this weekend hosted by the School of Management.

Scholars from around the world will gather at the 2013 Dewald Roode Workshop on Information Systems Security Research, being held Oct. 4-5 in Niagara Falls, N.Y.
