Cybersecurity professionals, such as project managers, administrators, and risk managers,
rely on social science principles and research to fulfill their careers as security managers. These
experts employ several social disciplines, such as sociology, psychology, criminology, political
science, and business (Carley). Security managers are responsible for guiding their staff to
produce the most optimal product for their employer. This task involves utilizing business
terminology as well as applying knowledge in economics, finance, negotiation, and debate to
determine the most suitable product for the consumer (Carley). To effectively manage a product
or service, it is necessary to employ psychological and sociological principles. This involves
analyzing data studies and surveys to gain insights into human thought processes and
motivations. Understanding how and why people behave the way they do can help ensure that
the product or service interacts appropriately with both ethical and unethical consumers. People
can study phenomena such as social engineering, which involves manipulating individuals to
disregard information security principles (Carley). Acquiring accurate information literacy
through psychological research will enable a manager to maintain service security and improve
planning during the developmental process. Criminology and political science, along with these
two disciplines, encompass ethical behaviors, requiring an understanding of the legal framework
and political dynamics that govern their actions and determine what actions individuals can or
cannot engage in (Choi). To create something that is both legal and efficient, it is necessary to
adopt the perspective and mindset of both the unethical group and the ethical group (Choi).
Through effective management by a team of cyber security experts and the use of social science
principles and data analysis, they can create the optimal product for the target audience. When
management experts create or direct something, they must consider the impact it has on
marginalized groups (Choi). Often, security managers examine the psychological factors that
contribute to victimization. Using disciplines such as victimology, people gain insight into the
frequency of targeting marginalized groups and the underlying reasons for this likelihood. People
disproportionately target women compared to men, seeking their personal information for
ransom, or distributing \u201crevenge porn\u201d (Choi). Marginalized communities, such as individuals
with disabilities and black and Hispanic communities, often lack adequate education and
awareness. Consequently, these communities experience a disproportionate amount of
information theft and privacy breaches (Choi).
Managers in these roles have the authority to create and implement strategies that use
social sciences and behavioral analysis to develop technologies and promote outreach (Haqaf and
Koyuncu). The aim is to enhance the well-being of these communities and ensure equitable
opportunities for all citizens (Haqaf and Koyuncu). Different cultures, societal ideologies, and
religions assign varying degrees of importance to cybersecurity in their own societies. Data
availability and privacy concerns have targeted many of these cultures, as demonstrated by
scientific studies and surveys conducted among various groups (Haqaf and Koyuncu). Managers
can enhance client satisfaction by employing a variety of services and systems while considering
interdisciplinary collaboration. The field of cybersecurity is gradually becoming a widely
accepted social norm. Through the efforts of project leaders and risk managers, who
continuously acquire information and do research, society is effectively adjusting to this subject
(Haqaf and Koyuncu). This also applies to criminals, since we need to consider the scientific
aspects of criminal behavior. Criminals will constantly adjust their strategies to match the
existing requirements for cyber security. Because cybersecurity is a constantly evolving and
compromised field, security managers must actively encourage change and raise knowledge
within their teams, spreading it widely (Haqaf and Koyuncu).
