Information Security and Ethics
Assignment
Taking care of information falls to those who own the information to develop ethical guidelines about how to manage it. Treating sensitive corporate information as a valuable resource is good management.

Organizations should develop written policies establishing employee guidelines, procedures, and organizational rules for information.
Epolicies typically include: Ethical computer use policy, Information privacy policy, Acceptable use policy, email privacy policy, Internet use policy, and Anti-spam policy.
