Ethics in Information Security

Our society is undergoing pervasive digitalization. It's not an understatement to say that every facet of human endeavor is being profoundly changed by computing and digital technologies. Naturally, such sweeping changes also bring forth ethical issues that computing professionals must deal with. But are they equipped to deal with them? This article also includes an erratum. In "Practical Evaluation of Internet Systems' Security Mechanisms," (P. Lubomski and H. Krawczyk, vol. 15, no. 1, 2017), there was an error in the equation that appeared on page 38. The equation should read: nZ + nL * 0.6 + nM * 0.3 + nH * 0.1/nT.
