CYB 320 Wk 4 Discussion – The Ethics of Monitoring Employees
Post a total of 3 substantive responses over 2 separate days for full participation. This includes your initial post and 2 replies to classmates or your faculty member.
Due Day 3
Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:
• Consider that monitoring employees’ web access, and restricting access to risky sites, is a best practice for most organizations. How far should monitoring go? For instance, consider the situations in which an employee is looking at job sites to look for a new job, or looking at weapons and terrorist sites, or researching cancer treatments. Does permitting access to risky sites pose a risk to the organization?
• Present a stance you would take from a leadership position in the U.S. on the ethical limits of monitoring employees versus your stance if you were in a leadership position in a different country, such as China or North Korea.
• Provide a policy statement to support either stance; for example, “The organization will strictly restrict web access by employees in order to promote security and avoid leaks of sensitive information.”
