CYBER SECURITY1
Part 1: Emerging digital technology- IoT
With the growing needs of the population it has been observed that the emerging digital
technologies have gained huge importance. With the help of this technology it becomes easy to
manage the performance. IoT is one such technology that is used for the purpose of improving
the condition of the human daily lives. IoT is the technology that is used for the purpose of
designing an environment in which interconnected devices are embedded for the purpose of
collecting and exchanging the data 1. This ensures that the collected data are evaluated efficiently
for the purpose of having better performance. This helps in interacting and exchanging data
without any human interventions. However it is important to understand the impacts that are
created with the use of this technology. Intent of things tends to provide a better connectivity
however there are certain challenges that are faced from the ethical perspective that is with the
privacy aspect and the confidentiality. IoT allows the connected devices to share data and thus it
becomes very difficult to monitor which party is accessing the data2. The privacy aspect becomes
a very crucial aspect and thus it is important to ensure that the companies are provided with
proper security support so that the data can be managed securely within the system.

International Journal of Informatics (OIJI) (2018): 10-17.
The paper intends at describing the way IoT helps in improving the performance by
offering better connectivity. However there are certain considerations that are needed to be taken
care while using the technology. Before using an emerging technology it becomes essential to
ensure that the technology is socially, ethically and politically sustainable so that it does not
hampers the performance. The paper is focused on identifying the key challenges that arises with
the use of IoT in daily life. The privacy offered towards the data gets hampered with the use of
this technology and thus before using IoT it is important to ensure that an effective methodology
is used for overcoming the issues.

ETHICAL CONCERN." Issues in Information Systems 17.4 (2016).
Internet of things is considered as a global network infrastructure that helps in linking the
devices together for establishing a better communications. The key ethical issues that are faced
with the use of IoT is regarding to the privacy factors, the moral agency, issues faced with
environmental behaviors and the problems that are faced with managing the information. Hence
it is important to ensure that the use of emerging technologies does not hamper the ethics. Thus
there is a need to identify the ethical issues that arises with the use of IoT technology so that it
becomes easy to enhance the performance.
