Options
- AAct honorably, honestly, justly, responsibly, and legally
- BProtect society, the common good, necessary public trust and confidence, and the infrastructure

- DAdvance and protect the profession
Explanation
The cannon "Protect society, the common good, necessary public trust and confidence, and the infrastructure" is primarily aimed at the general public as it underscores the responsibility of cybersecurity professionals to protect society and the common good, foster necessary public trust and confidence, and safeguard the infrastructure (see the ISC2 Study Guide, Chapter 1, Module 5). For instance, a cybersecurity professional might detect a potential threat in a public utility's system. Recognizing the potential harm to the public and the infrastructure, they would notify competent authorities of the threat, thereby protecting society and maintaining public trust in the system's security. The other principles, while important, do not primarily target the welfare and trust of the broader public.
