Legal and ethical considerations in cybersecurity involve navigating a complex landscape of regulations, privacy concerns, and moral principles. Legally, cybersecurity practices must comply with laws such as data protection regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA) and industry standards (e.g., HIPAA). Ethically, organizations are expected to safeguard user data, avoid malicious practices, and disclose breaches transparently. Balancing robust security measures with privacy rights, informed consent, and the responsible use of technology is crucial.
