Welcome Fellow Readers, In the previous assignment of ePortfolio entry #3 I was instructed to Describe four ethical issues that arise when storing electronic information about individuals. Those four ethical issues were confidentiality, privacy, freedom, and data ownership. First, Confidentiality “Ensures that the necessary level of secrecy is enforced at each junction of data processing and prevents unauthorized disclosure. This level of confidentiality should prevail while data resides on systems and devices within the network, as it is transmitted and once it reaches its destination.” Second, Privacy “is the right to be let alone, or freedom from interference or intrusion.” Third, Freedom is “the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint.” Lastly, Data ownership “both the possession of and responsibility for information.” Now for assignment ePortfolio entry #4 I will be Comparing the cybersecurity risks in the United States and any other country. The ethical issues I talked about are prominent in the U.S. because it’s a country built revolved and or built around millions/billons of citizens just like me who the right to things like freedom of speech and privacy. As I said once before and will say again, Organizations that store privileged information could easily run into these issues because of the advancements in cybersecurity technology. Now, this is not always the case in many other countries. However, the United States and other countries still must deal with similar cybersecurity risks. For example, the United States and China both deal with malware infections in computer systems. They both must deal with a huge number of Denial-of-Service Attacks (DDoS) in their country. These attacks can focus on disrupting the traffic on a network, system, or server by overflooding with a huge load of internet traffic. They leave systems vulnerable to attackers to do whatever they want, which could be to steal, modify, or destroy data.
