The Legal System and Ethics in Information Security
You took the advice of the security experts, and hired a full time security administrator/analyst. With his help your company formulated and spelled out a security policy. You analyzed the risks and vulnerabilities prevalent in your environment, and identified your industry's practices for due care. With this in mind, you set up a security infrastructure. You also laid out a plan for conducting periodic reviews and tests to analyze and enhance your security policy and infrastructure. Finally, you set up an intrusion detection system. Just as you start to wonder whether it was all worth it, lo and behold, your security administrator informs you, that after analyzing several suspicious logs and hack attempts, he was able to pin-point an intruder who had been trying to get to the core of the company's data.

In the computer age, actions that take seconds to complete may take years to be defined, and even longer to become regulated by law.

A delicate balance of powers between the Public Agencies charged with enforcing the law, and the private corporations attempting to defend themselves with it, must be achieved for the common good of both. Those charged with defending either public or private entities against these types of cutting edge attacks are sometimes forced to call upon their own discretion and ingenuity in responding to these incidents. Combining the roles of the Corporate Security Investigator, the Corporate Incident Response Team, and the powers of the Public Agency Prosecutor can be incredibly beneficial to all, but can lead to pitfalls as well.
