1. Four ethical issues that can arise when storing electronic information about individuals are privacy, consent, data security, and data retention and disposal. First we have Privacy. Privacy is an ethical issue because storing electronic information raises concerns about the privacy rights of individuals and companies . It is important to make sure that personal data is secured and only used for legitimate purposes. This is a main concern many individuals and companies worry about because if their information or secure data is not secure then it is a problem. The next issue is consent. Collecting and storing electronic information should be done with the informed consent of the individuals involved. Ethical issues may happen if data is collected without proper consent or if the data collection exceeds what was originally agreed on with the individual or company. Furthermore, the next issue is data security. Storing electronic information has the responsibility of making sure its secure. Ethical issues can arise if data is not correctly protected, which can lead to breaches that compromise the privacy and security of individuals or company’s information. Finally there is Data retention and disposal. Ethical considerations must be taken into account when it comes to determining how long electronic information should be kept and how it should be securely disposed of when no longer needed. Keeping data for longer than necessary or failing to properly dispose of it can cause ethical risks.

2. Comparing cybersecurity risks in the U.S. and another country has various factors such as the country’s technology, legal framework, and cyber threat landscape. Technological infrastructure in The U.S. generally has advanced economy and strong investments in technology. The United states overall is a wealthy country compared to other countries meaning we are also more technically advanced. Other countries may have varying levels of infrastructure development, which can impact their cybersecurity risks. Other countries are not as advanced as the United States. Different countries have different laws and regulations regarding cybersecurity. The U.S. has established cybersecurity laws, such as the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA) and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA). Some countries may have less developed or different legal frameworks, which can affect their cybersecurity risks by having there information or data become more vulnerable to attacks. The cybersecurity risks faced by the U.S. and another country may differ based on the types of threats that occur in each region. Factors such as the presence of cybercriminal organizations, state-sponsored hacking, and the overall cybersecurity experience of individuals and organizations can vary between countries.
