While now in the technology world a lot of data and sensitive information is being stored electronically such as in our smart phones, laptops, and tablets, and is saved to a cloud in our device, to trust with our sensitive information. Even though storing information electronically is time-efficient and quicker access, the risk is still taken into consideration whenever any piece of sensitive information is being stored on an electronic device. One ethical issue being privacy and confidentiality while information is being stored the huge risk of identity and privacy being tampered with and dishonored is common. With this issue, there are measures taken and put in place to make sure no unathourized party can portray to be someone else’s identity and access the owners’ information. The second ethical issue is security breaches can harm the victims’ privacy and private information and possibly give access to unauthorized users to gain access to sensitive information. Security breaches can be a devastating event to those that fall victim to the horrific situation because if the information is not encrypted the passwords can be guess to access the information and form to the leaking of sensitive information. When security breaches occur that is why firewalls and intrusion detection are placed to ensure the protection of the datas integrity. Another ethical issue that can arise is system implementation when systems don’t meet the needs for the company or is not running smoothly, which can put the sensitive information at risk because of technical issues being experienced. Lastly data inaccuracy, having data integrity is an important aspect of the information becaus eif the data has been tampered or changed then the data can not be trusted. Typos or grammatical errors can cause the data to be inaccurate and not a reliable piece of data or information.
