The purpose of this Special Issue is to encourage the development of quality research in IS security in the context of Indian businesses that have local as well as global impact. It will explore how information technology solutions and IS policies could be developed and deployed amidst the social, cultural and economic diversities of India to facilitate secured business communications. The Special Issue will include original papers on theoretical as well as practical case studies conducted in IS security that have implications on businesses and societies in India.
