Explain how the principles of science relate to cybersecurity.

In the beginning, play an important role in the cybersecurity field. The principles of science related to cybersecurity take different paths, such as relativism, determinism, objectivity, parsimony, ethical neutrality, skepticalness, and empiricism.

In relativism, we can understand that everything is related to each other, and we can notice that, especially if something changes in the systems, it can affect other systems around it. On the other hand, deterministic means that every individual should be responsible about his action or behavior. While objectivity shows us the path how scientists study their topics in a value-free manner. Additionally, as a principle of science, parsimony means that the scientists are trying to keep their levels of explaining things as simple as possible. Ethical neutrality shows that the scientists should keep their science to ethical standards when they research something. Empiricism means that the social scientists can only study the natural behavior, such as (e.g., we can touch, see, taste, hear, or smell it), so the knowledge came from what we experience.
