CHAPTER 9 : PRIVACY, SECURITY, AND ETHICS

Privacy, trust, and security, as well as law and ethics, are all interconnected. Trust is required for privacy protection and security provisions. Only those whom one trusts will be allowed entry to one's zone of inaccessibility; one will not feel secure unless the security provider is trusted. Invasion of privacy is a risk, and consequently a security hazard. Data privacy refers to the data subject's legal right to data access, use, and collection. Data privacy also considers the costs of a data breach, which can include both hard and soft expenses. Ethics is the grey area where things are done with computers that aren't quite unlawful but also aren't exactly right. We have completely lost the importance of private, secure information since there is so much information available to Internet users. Physical security is the most crucial aspect of security. Unless the person using the printout is ready to bear responsibility for physically protecting the information from unauthorized individuals, sensitive material should probably not be printed on hardcopy.
