Sometimes it is necessary to conduct so$-$called white hat operations, which entail hacking by "the good guys." This sounds simple enough but there are ethical implications for such actions.

With that in mind, engage in a conversation with your course community related to at least one of the following:

What is "ethical hacking?" What is an example of it$?$

Should security personnel have unfettered access to data or systems they are entrusted to protect? Explain.

What is an IT security$-$related situation in which you faced $($or researched$)$ an ethical dilemma?

How did you approach it$?$

How was it resolved?
