Information Assurance and Security Ethics in Complex Systems: Interdisciplinary Perspectives

By: Melissa Jane Dark

The problems encountered in ensuring that modern computing systems are used appropriately cannot be solved with technology alone, nor can they be addressed independent of the underlying computational fabric. Instead, they require an informed, multidisciplinary approach, especially when considering issues of security, privacy, assurance, and crime. Information Assurance and Security Ethics in Complex Systems: Interdisciplinary Perspectives offers insight into social and ethical challenges presented by modern technology. Aimed at students and practitioners in the rapidly growing field of information assurance and security, this book address issues of privacy, access, safety, liability and reliability in a manner that asks readers to think about how the social context is shaping technology and how technology is shaping social context and, in so doing, to rethink conceptual boundaries.
