This interdisciplinary research essay explores the ethical responsibilities of cybersecurity professionals by evaluating systems like the CIA Triad, authentication/authorization processes, and SCADA applications in hospital boiler infrastructure. Using philosophical reflections from Hans Jonas and real-world technical examples, I argue for proactive policy frameworks that prioritize human-centered design, security, and social responsibility. This artifact demonstrates my ability to communicate complex technical concepts through an ethical lens and assess real-world cybersecurity strategies in relation to public safety and predictive system limitations.
