“…Therefore, cybersecurity ethics can be seen as professional ethics, providing in-depth and specific knowledge to a group of practitioners who share certain characteristics. 4 Cybersecurity professionals should consider ethics as a part of their profession, not only to avoid harm, prevent illegal activity or destructive behaviour but one who understands the ethical significance of their profession. An ethical cybersecurity professional not only uses their skills to build a better product or service but something that strives towards a better world.…”

Principlism is a set of principles -usually three to four -combined and seen as a system of ethics.…”

“…Utilitarianism always aims for the decision with the highest pay-off or the highest utility. 4 From a cybersecurity perspective, the utilitarian approach can be hard to define. One might encounter the debate whether individuals should be treated on the basis of different norms and morals in the cybersecurity space than in normal life.…”

The SHAPES Horizon 2020 project supports the wellbeing of the elderly at home. The object of this paper is to help to provide necessary tools and guidelines to health and wellbeing service developers in the SHAPES project for their ethical consideration of cybersecurity actions. This paper examines different views and approaches to the ethics of cybersecurity in healthcare and finds the most relevant and puzzling issues for the SHAPES project. The paper investigates the ethical issues, for example, applying the approach of principlism based on four principles of biomedical ethics (respect for autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence and justice) and ethics of care. The essential aims of the employment of information and communication technology in healthcare are efficiency and quality of services, the privacy of information and confidentiality of communication, the usability of services, and safety. Four significant value clusters in cybersecurity are security, privacy, fairness, and accountability. From these four different ethical aspects (biomedical ethics, ethics of care, core value clusters in cybersecurity, and technical aims), this paper proposes a new conceptual model for a system approach to analyse the ethical matters which are related to cybersecurity in digital healthcare and wellbeing. In addition, the paper provides ethical guidelines from a cybersecurity ethics and biomedical ethics perspective for the SHAPES project.

Terrorism and the Internet of Things: Cyber-Terrorism as an Emergent Threat

In this chapter I present an argument that cyber-terrorism will happen. This argument is premised on the development of a cluster of related technologies that create a direct causal link between the informational realm of cyberspace and the physical realm. These cyber-enabled physical systems fit under the umbrella of the ‘Internet of Things’ (IoT). While this informational/physical connection is a vitally important part of the claim, a more nuanced analysis reveals five further features are central to the IoT enabling cyber-terrorism. These features are that the IoT is radically insecure, that the components of the IoT are in the world, that the sheer numbers of IoT devices mean potential attacks can be intense, that the IoT will likely be powered by a range of Artificial Intelligence aspects, making it inscrutable, and that the IoT is largely invisible. Combining these five factors together, the IoT emerges as a threat vector for cyber-terrorism. The point of the chapter is to go beyond recognising that the IoT is a thing in the world and so can enable physical impacts from cyber-attacks, to offer these five factors to say something more specific about just why the IoT can potentially be used for cyber-terrorism. Having outlined how the IoT can be used for cyber-terrorism, I attend to the question of whether such actions are actually terrorism or not. Ultimately, I argue, as the IoT grows in scope and penetration of our physical worlds and behaviours, it means that cyber-terrorism is not a question of if, but when. This, I suggest, has significant ethical implications as these five features of the IoT mean that we ought to be regulating these technologies.

Cybersecurity presents numerous points for ethical inquiry. This entry looks at cybersecurity through a number of layers of analysis. Starting with cyberspace's nonphysical and nongeographic nature, it looks at international norms to show that there are norms in cyberspace. It then covers particular ethical issues around cyberwar and matters of state–state conflict in cyberspace that fall short of war. State–citizen relations are explored; and, finally, some of the ethical issues concerning individuals and cybersecurity.
