Analyze the given scenario for potential ethical concerns.
Susan has just begun a new job. The office's computers are automatically set to inform employees when the computer anti-virus software is due to be updated. This web-security technology is vital to keeping business documents safe. However, Susan does not pay attention to the alerts that pop up on her computer, which results in the anti-virus software expiring.
Susan regularly gets distracted from her assignments and begins perusing websites for personal interests rather than for her assignment. Unfortunately, one day a computer virus infects her computer from one of these websites; she quickly begins to notice problems. When she realizes what has happened, Susan is worried and uncertain. She waits until the end of the day to inform her manager of this incident. Because of her negligence, it's possible that this virus infect her company's confidential data. In her company's workplace rules and regulations, she was told explicitly to stay away from questionable websites due to the sensitive nature of the information on her computer.
1. In this scenario, what is the importance of anti-virus software and other similar virus protection programs?
2. What steps could Susan have taken to help prevent this incident from occurring?
3. Besides the importance of network security, what other ethical issue does this scenario illustrate?
4. What data privacy or legal issues could result from employees' use of the Internet on their company's server?
5. Besides avoiding unfamiliar websites, what other measures can be taken to ensure a virus doesn't infect your company's computer network?
