The makers of ethical digitalisation: A handbook of a responsible cybersecurity expert

We discussed with our Head of Cybersecurity Business, Markus Asikainen, and two of our cybersecurity consultants how a cybersecurity expert operates responsibly in their own work, and how Gofore supports this important work of the experts.

Digitalisation inevitably shapes our society and business models. Promoting it offers numerous opportunities, but at the same time raises ethical questions. Cybersecurity is a crucial aspect of ethical digitalisation, as the actions of a cybersecurity expert directly impact the security and privacy of customers and end users.
