CIM's Matt Spencer has published two new open access papers exploring interdisciplinarity in cyber security.

The first, in the conference proceedings for the New Security Paradigms Workshop (NSPW), explores opportunities to bring a sociological framing to bear on security economics; the second, in Information, Communication and Society introduces a Special Issue focused on 'the fix' as a trope for interdisciplinary cyber security.

> better interdisciplinary engagement with the CyBOK framework to ensure that social and cultural expertise are recognised, and,
> empirical analysis of cyber security problems to ensure that specialisms are aligned with practical needs.
