- After watching the video, I have a good perspective of how the work force in the cyber security field is looked at. We must look at everything with every perspective possible. If we are looking at a breach in a company’s system and our own cyber security workers don’t know how they got in or what’s wrong, we can use the information from cyber criminals and look at how they think. What I mean when I say look at how criminals think, they don’t follow protocol so there may be ways to breach certain networks that isn’t in the guidebook or what they might teach you in cyber security. Even though they are criminals, their information is very crucial to stopping breaches because we now know how these criminals think and what they like to do.
- Is studying people without their knowledge in the cyberspace ethical? The answer to this question can be seen multiple ways. It depends on the reason for why you are studying them and the purpose. Ethics is right or wrong, good, or bad and it comes down to those specific reasons. Let’s say you are spying on someone because you have a strong desire for them and you are just looking through their information and breaching their services to gain more knowledge on them, that right there is a breach of privacy and doesn’t sound legal. If a cop makes a fake account and starts following high school students without a case and for his own purpose, then that is also ethically wrong. But if you are studying people without their knowledge for surveys or for information for work then it can be ethical because It is for research and could be towards the greater good instead of the greater bad.
