Cybersecurity is a great human rights issue of our time, necessary for protecting human rights, democracy, national security and the digital economy. CDE’s Cybersecurity Ethics faculty–including Matt Blaze, Laura DeNardis, and Micah Sherr–are some of the world’s leading experts advancing research and policy engagement at the intersection of cybersecurity and the public good. Many cybersecurity policy choices involve fundamental ethical concerns, such as encryption strength debates, ransomware responses, and securing medical devices and voting machines.
