ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) Practice Question
In which scenario is a certified cybersecurity professional most directly upholding the first ISC2 Code of Ethics canon to protect society, the common good, public trust, and critical infrastructure?
Negotiating a higher salary after obtaining certification.
Publicly posting exploit code for an unpatched flaw to pressure the vendor.
Implementing redundant firewalls and backup links for a city's emergency dispatch network to ensure continuous availability.
Disabling internet access to employee laptops to stop non-work browsing.
The first canon obligates professionals to place the welfare of society and the resilience of vital systems above all other considerations. By implementing redundant firewalls and backup network links for a city's emergency dispatch service, the professional is actively safeguarding critical infrastructure and helping to ensure that life-safety services remain available to the public. Disabling employee internet access may reduce risk but does not directly advance public trust or protect essential services. Negotiating a higher salary addresses personal interest, not societal welfare. Publishing exploit code for an unpatched vulnerability can endanger the public by facilitating attacks rather than protecting them.
