Abstract

This paper proposes a model for teaching information assurance ethics. The model is composed of four dimensions: the moral development dimension; the ethical dimension; the security dimension; and the solutions dimension. The ethical dimension explores the ethical ramifications of a topic from a variety of perspectives. The security dimension includes ways in which an information assurance topic manifests to information assurance professionals. The solutions dimension focuses on remedies that individuals, groups of individuals and society have created to address security problems and associated ethical dilemmas. The moral development dimension describes the stages and transitions that humans experience as they develop morally, as they develop their own personal beliefs and behaviors about right and wrong.
