Introduction (1500)Ethical dilemma refers to decision-making problem which arises in between probable twomoral imperatives neither of which is unambiguously preferable or acceptable. The complexitytakes place due to situational conflicts in those situation that results within breaching another(Nyman and Burke, 2016). This report is based Ken an ICT Professional (Information andCommunications Technology) faced an ethical dilemma. As per this case, due to certain reasonsKen cannot go online on certain day as it will lead to breach but they went online. This documentincludes certain ethical dilemma's with respect to Ken and also perspectives from ACS(Australian Computer Society) code of ethics are taken into consideration.Ethical dilemmaWith respect to this case, Ken was a Information and Communications TechnologyProfessional, due to some reasons they were not able to be 'live' on coming “Monday” as it willlead to breach. But they went live which lead to ethical dilemma. A condition or a problem inwhich decision-making process in between two assert-able options and neither of them isappropriate with respect to ethical orientation is referred to ethical dilemma or paradox. In thiscase the two conditions were either they go online or not. But both of these conditions were notaccountable in ethics. The major cause for this has been illustrated below with respect to both thesituations.I.The first condition is that, they can go live but systems were not tested.II.The other situation was they cannot go live as privacy of their clients will get vulnerable Neither of conditions are apt as in both the ethics are breached. Suppose if first conditionis taken into consideration then it means there can be any kind interruption in the session like athird person can get into a network and interrupt entire session (Browning, 2016). There is also apossibility that an intruder may replace the voice of Ken with their to misguide the people. Onthe other hand, if they do not go live then it will lead their clients to dissatisfied with Ken andmay not opt for services that are provided by them in future. Both of these conditions will notgive appropriate results. But still then Ken decides to go live and address their clients. In such kind of situations, ethics have to be considered. Generally, ethics denotesdifference among what is right to do and what is not. It is a thin line which guides individual toanalyse their steps with respect to deontologism, consequentialism and virtuousness. Ethics of1
