Cybersecurity is an interdisciplinary field of study, meaning there are multiple fields of knowledge that relate to it. There are several different majors that ODU offers that work hand in hand with Cybersecurity. The first major that comes to mind is Criminology. Last semester, I was able to take the introductory course for Criminology, and it was extremely informative. Criminology is heavily influences by Sociology, and is defined as the scientific study of crime. From a cybersecurity perspective, Criminology helps us to understand who commits these crimes, the causes and motivations for cybercrime, judicial responses to cybercrime, and punishments associated with cybercrime. This knowledge can ultimately be used to develop prevention strategies against cybercriminals. Another discipline that is used within Cybersecurity is Psychology. Understanding the ways that cybercriminals psychologically manipulate people into giving out sensitive information can be beneficial for educating people on how to be more careful about the sensitive information they give out on the internet. Sociology is another discipline similar to Criminology, that would aid in understanding the demographics of who is most likely to be victimized as well as who is most likely to perpetrate. It can also be used to help understand why hackers use certain methods over others. Lastly, Computer Science easily goes hand in hand with Cybersecurity, as it’s the overall study of computers and computer systems. Understanding the ins and outs of computer systems is crucial when trying to combat a cybercriminal. Also, a lot of Computer Science graduates go on to become programmers or software and web developers, and these careers correlate to Cybersecurity heavily. As computer systems are always evolving, so are hackers, so it is crucial that computer science majors, as well as cybersecurity majors share mutual knowledge on hackers tactics and strategies so that a company or organization’s programs or networks do not become corrupted.
