A TWO-DAY WORKSHOP ON JULY 20-21, 2017 AT CAIS, RUHR UNIVERSITY BOCHUM, GERMANY.

IT security is commonly considered a fundamental issue in the design, use and
appropriation of digital technologies. The workshop we propose proceeds from the
observations that existing techno-centric approaches to IT security are lacking
and that established notions of usable security limit questions of IT security
to relatively narrow concerns for product quality and consumer competency. In
contrast, the workshop explores how IT security emerges from a mesh of diverse
practices, involving a range of actors such as software developers, security
researchers, hackers, users, policy makers, non-profit organizations and so
forth. “Taking the practice turn” in IT security, we suggest to study the making
of IT security in terms of distributed collaboration, tense negotiation and
heterogeneous cooperation across organizational boundaries. IT security, we
propose, cannot simply be scripted into technology. Rather, it must be
understood as situated within practices of designing, using, and testing through
which security is enacted, maintained and contested.
