Answers
Answer:
Cybersecurity practices have as their aim the securing—that is, the keeping safe—of data,
computer systems and networks (software and hardware). While those data, systems, and
networks might have some economic or other value in and of themselves, what cybersecurity
practices primarily protect are the integrity, functionality, and reliability of human
institutions/practices that rely upon such data, systems, and networks. And in protecting those
institutions and practices, cybersecurity professionals in turn are protecting the lives and
happiness of the human beings who depend upon them.
If you are a cybersecurity professional tasked with securing a hospital’s network and critical
data from invasion and attack, you are intimately involved in protecting sick patients, even if
you have no medical training. Patients’ privacy, health, even their survival can hinge upon your
success or failure. In many cases the well-being of patients’ families and caregivers is being
shielded by your practice as well. This is a particularly stark example, but cybersecurity
practices and professionals are also critical to the protection of credit users, students, power
and water customers, voters, investors, inventors, drivers, train and airplane passengers—
basically all of us.
This means that ethical issues are at the core of cybersecurity practices, because these
practices are increasingly required to secure and shield the ability of human individuals and
groups to live well. And given the increasing complexity and difficulty of securing online data
and systems across a proliferating landscape of cloud computing services, WiFi-enabled mobile
devices, and ‘smart’ objects—from a multiplicity of hostile actors exploiting lax or underresourced security controls—the ethical responsibility to protect others that is borne by
cybersecurity professionals is an increasingly heavy burden.
