Ethics in Cybersecurity Curricula

Abstract: The result of the initial research into the topic was the SCOPUS article published in October 2020 ‘The Introduction of Ethics into Cybersecurity Curricula’ (by Adaryukova, Bychkov, Merkulova, Skyrda). The article is devoted to the analysis of the problem of teaching professional ethics to future cybersecurity specialists. It is stated that cybersecurity specialists nowadays are often unsupported by the current procedures and guidelines. The dilemmas that arise are not always determined by the corresponding laws, rules or codified standards due to the much faster development of the technological basis compared to the legislative frame. Thus, the cybersecurity specialists can face unpredictable problems that can require ethical awareness. The article analyses three international educational efforts in creating educational standards for the cybersecurity course and the role of ethics in each. The article looks at the national educational standard for this course and the international experience of embedding ethics into cybersecurity curricula. The logical outcome of further research would be an educational programme for Ethics in Cybersecurity course.
