- How does your major relate to cybersecurity technology?
- Select four other majors offered by ODU and explain how those majors relate to cybersecurity. My major is Criminal Justice and minor in Sociology cybersecurity relate to Criminal Justice because cybersecurity is a from of criminal prevention and how we can stop criminals from hacking into our infrastructure and doing harm to our systems. Just like in criminal justice how we study the reason why people commit crimes and the how they do it and why, what can make a person want to cause crime being social problems meaning they are poor and have nothing to lose so why not. In cybersecurity we are learning about why and how people heck into systems and what they are after. We are learning the ways we can stop them from doing that and different ways we can slow them down.
- Political Science and Government, Business, Marketing, and Electrical Engineering. The way that Political science relates to cybersecurity is the fact that we use hacking in politics all the time when we have a disagreement or think a country is hiding something that they shouldn’t have or we don’t want them to have we hack their systems to see if we can find it. It’s the same thing China and Russia do to us. It relates to business because all business need some sort of cybersecurity or else they will have their systems vulnerable to a attack, and if they have no way to stop or prevent an attack their systems could be down for weeks so I think people in business should learn about to prevent and stop attacks. Marketing has a big deal to deal with cybersecurity to because if you have a new software that’s stops hacking or something of that nature you would want o know something about how it works. Electrical engineering really relates and I think it needs to be talked about more because our power grid is not protected at all if China or Russia wanted to knock our grid out they could easily just like we could do to them that’s why need to find different way on how to protect our grid software that stops attacks.
