About this book
This open access book provides the first comprehensive collection of papers that provide an integrative view on cybersecurity. It discusses theories, problems and solutions on the relevant ethical issues involved. This work is sorely needed in a world where cybersecurity has become indispensable to protect trust and confidence in the digital infrastructure whilst respecting fundamental values like equality, fairness, freedom, or privacy. The book has a strong practical focus as it includes case studies outlining ethical issues in cybersecurity and presenting guidelines and other measures to tackle those issues. It is thus not only relevant for academics but also for practitioners in cybersecurity such as providers of security software, governmental CERTs or Chief Security Officers in companies.
Reviews
“This volume provides a valuable overview of the issues and dilemmas in the field of cybersecurity ethics, particularly in the European context. The volume will be of interest to graduate students and academic researchers, and some of the essays will also be useful to undergraduates.” (Mary Manjikian, Prometheus, Vol. 36 (4), December, 2020)
