dictionary.com says of "ethics": + A set of principles of right conduct + A theory or a system of moral values "Right conduct" and "moral values" depend on context and conditions, they aren't absolute. Today, the ethics of publicly traded corporations are easy to sum up: make as much money as possible right now. That's it. The future is someone else's problem. The phrase "responsibility to our investors" is used in the same way as "I was just following orders". We, as security professionals, can and should model our own behavior on our own ethics; expecting companies to follow ethics that are palatable to us is unrealistic. -Bennett
