Basically, Information Technology describes the electronic devices that are used to store, retrieve,
and process the data in the database. A diverse range of applications in schooling, industry, health
and science are used to get advantage of it. Knowing more about information technologies, it is
important to know about protection and privacy as well as the problems that come with it. So here
we are going to discuss some ethical issues that are mostly faced by any organization in the field
of IT.
1- First of all about keeping safety is the main challenge for any organization in this cybercrime world, we may say with confidence that in today's connected society, protection and
security is one of the key issues facing IT. Although the volume of documents, names, and
personal data we exchange every day has increased, creating security is become a hard task
for organization especially for companies like, Google, amazon, Facebook, which even
cannot exist without information technology.
2- Secondly, Accessibility of information to specific individuals is the kind of challenge for
any company because data usability and availability are critical, giving access to
particularly those positions of responsibility who are in higher category staff of
organization. Sharing data with every staff and employees will be very simple with
connectivity. However, it is beneficial, but there are also several things that the IT
department would help out and deal. Now a days because of Covid-19 many company’s
employees are working from home and it is also mandatory for organization to give online
specific data access to employees.
3- Thirdly the common and main issues is about Piracy. Basically, making an illegal copy of
software is a form of piracy. As well as the companies that are related to information
technology are concerned, whether or not they let users make backup copies of your
software is completely up to the discretion of the organization or software owner. Rules
that serve as copyright safeguards are in this process of evolution, as well as security
against software piracy. Copyright is an obstacle that should be dealt with by the tech
community as well as by users. In addition to traditional copyright actions, the courts are
beginning to see a growing variety of claims related to software security.
4- Last but not the least there is one issue which is Loss of Data, This challenge and issue can
be occurred in any organization until and unless their data is not uploaded online, let
suppose the data center of company or organization was to be hit by fire or flooding then
hardware would be irrevocably destroyed and the all the data which was stored in hard
drive would be lost.
Now if move towards their solutions means the ways to protect information system from being
suffered, initially organizations should design safe systems by reducing access to your system's
vulnerability to hackers and criminals by restricting access to your technology. Minimize human
error by avoiding needless hardware and software access, and by placing controls on each person's
and system's hardware/software packages to required resources. If you can, try to separate work
groups with separate email addresses, host names, and domains wherever possible.
Secondly “Businesses are vulnerable without employee education”, a simple solution to adopt is
that organization should prohibit workers from utilizing their own mobile devices at work means
they are not supposed to use their personal devices for work purpose in the organization and that
technique often succeeds in the long run. Other than, because of endless human mistakes and
oversights, there are numerous security abuses. Computing protection and network use requires
training programs and educating employee may help develop an organizational culture that
emphasizes good passwords and safer networks security precautions should be the default for any
employee of the company.
