The principles of science relate heavily to cybersecurity as a whole. Relativism states that all things are related which can be emphasized by the growing necessity of technology within schools, the government, or even our daily lives. Objectivity states that no opinion or view is emphasized and that facts are facts, without faction. This can be used when discussing the nature and consequences of cybercrime. Parsimony explains how science should keep explanations as simple as possible, this is useful in cybersecurity when explaining systems and hardware to those that are not specially trained in such a field. Empiricism is the attitude that sciences should be kept to the human senses, as cybersecurity should rely on what we know instead of erroneous and possibly dangerous solutions. Ethical Neutrality is the fact of ethical standards within research, this applies to cybersecurity when it comes to discussing user data and how it should be stored. Determinism is the principle that all actions are due to previous events that occurred, this is useful when attempting to gain motives in cybercrime.

The area in which I would like to focus my career on would be Data Administration. I enjoy the explanation of Data Administration because of the focus on protection and availability of data. It dictates where data is needed, how it is stored, and helps control the workflow of the greater workplace. This area is always where I have seen myself in the future and how I would want to work on a more daily basis. An area that I would not appeal to me is Targets. It involves an area of social sciences in which I am not strong at and therefore does not interest me.
