The science of applied cyber security. In other words, experts in the subject frequently employ established knowledge and recent scientific findings to produce practical applications, frequently in the form of technology. Through the use of a social science framework, the research of cybersecurity can be conducted using scientific approaches. The science principles include relativism, objectivity, parsimony, empiricism, skepticism, ethical neutrality, and determinism.

Relativism refers to all things related. Economic, political, and social systems will all be impacted by technological changes in behavior. The cybersecurity industry will also evolve as a result of such changes.

Objectivity is when scientists research about topics without any bias. It is essential that individuals researching cybersecurity from a social science angle maintain objectivity.

Parsimony refers to that explanations used by scientists should be as straightforward as feasible.

Empiricism means that scientists can only study behavior that is real to the senses. In Cyber security we should not rely on that because it will give us incorrect information and lead us to non conclusions.

Ethical neutrality refers to the fact that scientists should follow ethical standards when they complete research.

Determinism refers to the concept that behavior is caused by prior events.
