The Information Assurance Ethics Dilemma
Mario Garcia · 2009
Information assurance focus is on one of the three major tenants: confidentiality, integrity, and avai lability. Undertakings in each have indeed improved the overall security of current information systems. This r esearch seeks to promote Information Assurance ethical awareness. A brief discussion on ethics and moral development along with related works of Plato, Aristotle, Kant and Mi ll will follow a report on the current conditions a nd challenges to our profession. Ethical case studies were develope d by examining a limited collection of infamous act ions implemented in the name of information assurance. By understanding the past, the goal is to produce a literary tool kit that can lead to ethically sound decisions in t he development of future security systems.
