Ethical Cybersecurity

The cybersecurity industry faces a growing need for aggressive containment features but must balance rapid response with ethical considerations. Automatically quarantining critical systems can be detrimental, highlighting the importance of ethical cybersecurity practices. ManageEngine advocates for a “trust by design” philosophy, embedding fairness, transparency, and accountability into its products. The company’s “SHE AI principles”—Secure, Human, and Ethical AI—address the ethical implications of AI-driven security. Organizations should adopt cybersecurity ethics charters, embed ethics in technology decisions, and operationalize ethics through training and controls.
