Ethics and the Internet

Оглавление

In January 1989, right around the dawn of the internet, the Internet Activities Board (IAB) released a memo titled “Ethics and the Internet” (RFC 1087) as a statement of policy concerning ethical use of the internet. Although the memo is ancient by technology standards, the principles within it are still relevant today; as a CISSP, you should understand and adhere to these principles.

RFC 1087 characterizes as unethical and unacceptable any activity that purposely

 “seeks to gain unauthorized access to the resources of the Internet”

 “disrupts the intended use of the Internet”

 “wastes resources (people, capacity, computer) through such actions

 “destroys the integrity of computer-based information

 “compromises the privacy of users”

Interestingly enough, this memo that debuted in the very early days of the internet — even before there was structured thought around information security — aligns directly with the CIA Triad and privacy principles that guide information security professionals in the 21st century.
