Module 3 – Case
Security Laws and Standards
Assignment Overview
Employees must be trained and kept aware of topics related to information security, not the least of which is the expected behaviors of an ethical employee. This is especially important in information security, as many employees may not have the formal technical training to understand that their behavior is unethical or even illegal. It is the responsibility of information security personnel to do everything in their power to deter illegal, immoral, or unethical behavior and to use policy, education and training, and technology to protect information and systems.
Three general causes of unethical and illegal behavior are ignorance, accident, and intent.
Deterrence is the best method for preventing illegal or unethical activity. Laws, policies, and technical controls are all examples of deterrents. Laws and policies and their associated penalties only deter if three conditions are present: fear of penalty
, probability of being apprehended
, and the
probability of penalty being applied
. Many professional organizations have established codes of conduct or codes of ethics that members are expected to follow.
