Transparency and disclosure of security vulnerabilities are key factors to enable users to protect their data. Resource allocation is one of the biggest ethical dilemmas in cybersecurity and organizations must make decisions on how to distribute their resources such as time and manpower.
Surveillance technologies and data collection methods were also mentioned, but at the same time they violate the privacy rights of individuals, so it is necessary to establish strict legal and ethical frameworks governing data collection.
