Cybersecurity presents numerous points for ethical inquiry. This entry looks at cybersecurity through a number of layers of analysis. Starting with cyberspace's nonphysical and nongeographic nature, it looks at international norms to show that there are norms in cyberspace. It then covers particular ethical issues around cyberwar and matters of state–state conflict in cyberspace that fall short of war. State–citizen relations are explored; and, finally, some of the ethical issues concerning individuals and cybersecurity.
