Looking at Information Security Through an Interdisciplinary Lens
Computer Science as a Social Science: Applications to Computer Security
This chapter argues for a multidisciplinary perspective in analyzing information security. Developing the best information security practices requires broadening the scope of current perspectives on information security. Although computer science is not traditionally viewed as a social science, problems in its domain are inherently social in nature, relating to people and their interactions. Applying social science perspectives to the field of computer security not only helps explain current limitations and highlights emerging trends, but also points the way toward a radical rethinking of how to make progress on this vital issue.
