Why Computer Security Fails - An Economic View (original) (raw)

Abstract

Computer security is addressed from the economic point of view rather than the more traditional technical one. The reasons why security fails, such as the cost of security, incentive failures, Tragedy of the Commons and the lack of knowledge are investigated. Finally, some of the proposed (economics-based) solutions to security problems such as enforcing liabilities and government regulation are discussed.
