Some ethical considerations in BioCybersecurity are the privacy of data, appropriate security measures, and giving awareness. BioCyersecurity protects life science and the digital world from potential misuse, significant information theft, and malicious destruction. The data would need to be protected and be left private. For example, the “Hacking of Humans: Protecting our DNA from Cybercriminals” reading compares your DNA being stolen to your social security being stolen. If someone steals your social security number it can cause trouble in your life if they do things like commit fraud with your identification. Although this can cause trouble, you can always get another social security number and get your name cleared but you can’t replace your DNA. This is why it is so important to have the privacy of this data protected. To help keep this data private, you would need appropriate security measures. You put different security measures in place with your online banking to make sure no one gets into your bank account. Strong password, confirmation code from either your email or phone number, and security questions. To be able to protect your data you would need to use steps such as access control, two-factor authentication, and firewalls. Giving awareness to others if data has been compromised is an ethical consideration anyone or company should give. If someone’s data was hacked or used without their permission, they should be informed. For example, some websites like ancestry, have been known to allow law enforcement to have access to customer DNA to compare to one from a crime. This is unethical for one to allow information that should be private, to be used without the person’s consent. I believe that the privacy of data, appropriate security measures, and giving awareness are some of the most important ethical considerations in BioCybersecurity.
