In today’s fast-moving world, technological advances happen faster than legislation can keep up, and will continue to do so for many years to come. As software engineers, the onus lies on us, not only to apply ethical behaviour to the implementation of these new technologies but also to enforce cybersecurity. This can be accomplished only if software companies liaise with governments to enforce new legislation that protects a country’s citizens from falling victim to cybercrimes relating to new technologies.
