Two majors that I immediately connected to cybersecurity were computer science and information technology. You have to have some sort of knowledge in both of these majors in order to fully grasp learning cybersecurity. Computer science is the base of all computers, being able to code and program computers, websites, databases, and so on. For example without computer science, there is no way for a cybersecurity major to know what a hacker does to a system to gain control of it. You need to understand the science behind the computer in order to ethically hack a system or even do penetration testing on one. Information technology is a pretty broad major, but you have to be able to understand everything about the technology you are using or you can take a wrong step and all your work or data can be taken by a hacker. If a hacker understands your network and system better than you, then you cannot stop it. A lot of older people who do not understand technology fall for very simple malware or other threats and have lost every asset they’ve had. Cybercrime is another major that is closely related to cybersecurity. Crimes over the internet happen all the time, and cybersecurity is there to stop it. It is very simple as to how it is related, but it is important to understand what you are and are not allowed to do in the cyber realm. It teaches you how to combat cybercrime, learn about crimes in the past, and understanding cybersecurity. It is just like getting police training but for the online world. Another similar major to cybersecurity is computer engineering. Both majors have to understand how a computer works inside and out. Cybersecurity deals more with hackers and security, but computer engineering is all about the computer itself. These majors work hand in hand when understanding how a computer system, network, and program works.
