Welcome
This international and interdisciplinary workshop is part of a series of events organized by the Horizon 2020 project CANVAS. The goal of CANVAS is to inform deciders and policy makers about issues at the intersection of ethics and cybersecurity by creating briefing packages, whitepapers, and materials for teaching (MOOC, reference curriculum, and a book). Our event brings together scholars and practitioners. This includes actors who need protection for themselves or for their organization as well as those who have to deal with the consequences of untraceability and online anonymity.
Our international workshop on “Ethical dilemmas in strategical and operational cybersecurity at State level” in Lausanne, Switzerland will begin with a focus on ethical issues in day-to-day operations for penetration testers, operators of critical infrastructure, and CERTs providing technical reaction to threats. Towards the end, we will broaden the scope to furthermore look at value-driven creation of new regulations and standards. The outcomes of the workshop will serve as input for the deliverables of CANVAS.
