Course: Cybersecurity in Manufacturing (13002-III) > Section: Understanding Cybersecurity

Differentiation should include the following:

- Ethics are the moral principles that guide a person’s conduct.
- Laws are the set of accepted rules and regulations created by appropriate authorities, such as national, state, or local governments.
- Legal issues can include significant privacy and data security concerns, which can expose an organization to legal and liability risks.

Differentiation should also include examples of situations which have a legal or ethical impact on the manufacturing sector (e.g., the impact of posting manufacturing facility pictures online without permission).

Process/Skill Questions:

- How does a company determine the trustworthiness of job applicants?
- Why are ethical and legal guardrails crucial to cybersecurity?
