Explain how the principles of science relate to cybersecurity.

The principles of science relate to cybersecurity in science’s most fundamental ways. Cybersecurity involves not only taking in consideration the scientific method, but just as important, field observation, gathering and collecting data for analysis, and theory generation and observation.

In the event of security incidences, the scientific method can be implemented. Generation of hypothesis due to attacks and breaches can be generated and thus lead to a series of investigative actions.

Field observation in cybersecurity also plays its role in science. Relatively new, researchers have started to realize human behavior, the social aspect, as a vital variable.

Collection of data from both the previously mentioned factors contribute to the relation of science in cybersecurity. New theories emerge along with new observations that aid in the future development for the science of cybersecurity. With all of these combined, scientists and researchers are able to further understand the interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, and disciplinary knowledge of the intricate nature of cybersecurity.
