  We use ongoing work on the Cyber Security Body of Knowledge (CyBOK) to help elicit and document the responsibilities and ethics of the profession. Based on a literature review of the ethics of cybersecurity, we use CyBOK to frame the exploration of ethical challenges in the cybersecurity profession. Our findings indicate that there are broad ethical challenges across the whole of cybersecurity, but also that different areas of cybersecurity can face specific ethical considerations.

  We introduce a workflow that integrates ethical alignment with an initial ethical judgment stage for efficient data screening. We present the QA-ETHICS dataset adapted from the ETHICS benchmark, which serves as an evaluation tool by unifying scenarios and label meanings. In addition, we suggest a new approach that achieves top performance in both binary and multi-label ethical judgment tasks.

  The explosive growth of cyber attacks nowadays, such as malware, spam, and intrusions, caused severe consequences on society. Traditional Machine Learning (ML) based methods are extensively used in detecting cyber threats, but they hardly model the correlations between real-world cyber entities. With the proliferation of graph mining techniques, many researchers investigated these techniques for capturing correlations between cyber entities and achieving high performance.

  This work focuses on the ethics of using defensive deception in cyberspace. We propose a doctrine of cyber effect that incorporates five ethical principles: goodwill, deontology, no-harm, transparency, and fairness. This doctrine has broader applicability, including for ethical issues such as AI accountability and controversies related to YouTube recommendations.

• Metaethical Perspectives on 'Benchmarking' AI Ethics [81.65697003067841]
  Benchmarks are seen as the cornerstone for measuring technical progress in Artificial Intelligence (AI) research. An increasingly prominent research area in AI is ethics, which currently has no set of benchmarks nor commonly accepted way for measuring the 'ethicality' of an AI system. We argue that it makes more sense to talk about 'values' rather than 'ethics' when considering the possible actions of present and future AI systems.
