Abstract

This chapter will deal with issues of privacy, societal, and ethical concerns in enterprise security. Security for a company is defined as protecting a company from attack. Yet, the soft side of this attack deals with protecting the privacy of those clients, vendors, and employees from invaders. Privacy of individual’s data must be considered both internally and externally. Laws protecting corporations and individuals need to be understood to keep a company from being liable for infringements of unprotected data. Companies who are not up-to-date on the laws will find themselves facing litigation in various forms. The ethical side of security is a much more nebulous area for an enterprise to deal with. Companies need to understand where ethics fits into the processes for security protection. This chapter will briefly discuss these ethical and privacy issues that an enterprise must address and processes that need to be in place.
