Unit 8 Discussion
In this week’s discussion, the IT team at BioHack discusses confidentiality and ethics relating to cybersecurity professionals. You are tasked with researching the breach of confidentiality and ethics (hint: Petraeus scandal, Snowden leaks, Equifax breach, Patriot Act, the 9/11 commission report, etc.). Outline the details of the breach, discuss the ethics involved, the harm caused by the breach of confidentiality.
Based on the reading from Introduction to Cybersecurity Ethics, list three best practices for confidentiality and ethics that you can recommend for cybersecurity professionals. Explain your rationale for the recommendations. What challenges might a cybersecurity professional encounter when trying to maintain the recommended best practices in the workplace?
