Improving Incentives for Cybersecurity

Explore the economic approach to cybersecurity in this welcome address from the Hack In The Box Security Conference. Delve into how security failures are often caused by bad incentives rather than poor design. Examine large-scale incident and vulnerability data to understand ways to improve incentives in combating various threats, including web compromise, malicious hosting, botnets, compromised IoT, and IP spoofing. Learn from Michel van Eeten, professor of cybersecurity at Delft University of Technology, as he shares insights from his research on the interplay between technological design and economic incentives in Internet security. Gain valuable perspectives on how markets for Internet services handle security risks, based on empirical studies conducted for organizations like ITU, OECD, European Commission, and the Dutch government.
