Ethical Issues

This week, you examined the legal aspects of information technology in regards to intellectual property, copyrights, and illegal software. There are several issues surrounding IT that involve illegal actions as well as ethical issues. Businesses must determine the vulnerability of information by conducting risk assessment and ensuring proper risk management measures have been taken to prevent illegal activities. In addition, businesses also have to account for activities that, while not illegal, raise ethical concerns.

For this Discussion, select one ethical issue related to IT systems and provide an analysis of how this issue affects IT systems. Then consider what IT can do to improve that issue. Finally, think about what IT is incapable of doing to improve that issue.

Post by Wednesday 6-28-17 a 200-word explanation of the ethical issue that you have selected. Also, explain how you think this issue can affect IT systems. Finally, explain what IT can and cannot do to improve the issue you selected.
