As a different example of ensuring an ethical framework, the Association for Computing Machinery should be mentioned, creating encodings that provide ethical standards for their professional niche. Inner decree codes are created by individual organizations and serve specific purposes. Thus, the development of an ethical code can be understood as a set of rules constantly changing depending on the tasks of the organization. In this context, a global development called Cybersecurity Body of Knowledge should be mentioned (Shoemaker et al., 2019). It presents a set of basic skills that a programmer should have in this environment. The list is not so much a fixed regulation as recommendations that should stimulate a critical judgment of the programmer. Thus, one can talk about both the existence of individual intracompany ethical codes, and about a certain general ethical integral that can be applied by a programmer when developing a specific code. The ethical principle can be perceived, firstly, as an individual criterion, and secondly, as a general standard for critical thinking. The ethical set of basic rules serves as an example of integration between all software developers in the cybersecurity field.
