Legal and Ethical Challenges of Cybersecurity

 

Cybersecurity policies and regulations should support not interfere  with organization workflow, and ultimately provide the three most  crucial components of security: confidentiality, integrity, and  availability. That is, policies should support people doing their jobs.  Successful security policy needs to demonstrate to employees the value  of security, not just the requirement for security. Thus, establishing  adequate organizational culture is important as it affects security  structure and policy. In 750-1,200 words, discuss organizational factors  in light of Christian worldview by answering questions below:

1. How  does trust grow in organizations? For example, in some organizations  there is lots of trust at the base of the organization, but this trust  does not necessarily rise up.
2. When are employees comfortable  with whistleblowing? Should technology have a function in extending the  whistleblowing capabilities of employees?
3. It seems reasonable  to assume that all organizations have implicit tradeoffs about what is  more and less important in their expressions of policy. How can these be  made more explicit so that policy and security architectures can more  effectively capture these values?
4. Within an organization, while  monitoring can help with technical aspect (such as access violations),  it does potentially worsen behavioral aspects. Discuss the deciding  factor of how much monitoring is acceptable both ethically and legally  by examining the ideological foundation of the Christian worldview.
