Description
Summary:Cybersecurity and cybercrime cannot exist without each other. They are not contraries, but rather two opposite poles of the same idea. Although it may seem that it is a rather black and white kind of relationship, the measures aimed at protecting innocent people raise a myriad of ethical dilemmas. This paper presents the results of a horizon scanning study aimed at identifying the ethical and human rights dilemmas that may arise in relation to cybersecurity and cybercrime; in the paper, the identified “weak signals” have been presented, that is, the ideas or concerns which are less obvious, not widely researched or present in the media. The cybersecurity-related ethical issues arise as part of the relations between the affected people and other entities; thus, in this paper, the identified dilemmas have been organized according to the nature of the relations.
