In this project, design your own case study involving a hypothetical cybersecurity scenario. After coming up with your case outline, you must identify: 1. The various types of stakeholders potentially affected by the case, and the different stakes/interests they have in the outcome. 2. The different types of cybersecurity professionals or practitioners that might be involved in a case like this, and their specific responsibilities. 3. The potential benefits and risks of harm that could be created by effective or ineffective cybersecurity practices in the case, including ‘downstream’ impacts. 4. The ethical challenges most relevant to this case 5. The ethical obligations to the public that such a case might entail for the cybersecurity professionals involved. 6. Any potential in the case for disparate impacts on others, and how those impacts might affect the lives of different stakeholders 7. The ethical best-case scenario (the best outcome for others that the cybersecurity practitioners involved could hope to secure from their practice) and a worst-case scenario (how their failures, poor decisions, or missed opportunities could lead to an ethical disaster or at least substantial harm to the significant interests of others). 8. One way that the risk of the worst-case-scenario could be reduced in advance, and one way that the harm could be mitigated after-the-fact by an effective crisis response. 9. At least two brief proposals or ideas for approaching the case in the most ethical way possible. Use the module content, especially Parts Two and Five, to help you come up with your ideas.
