Select four other majors offered by ODU and explain how those majors relate to cybersecurity.

The study of cybersecurity is multidisciplinary, drawing on other fields to best understand and secure against outsider threats, so it is important to understand how other fields interact with cybersecurity. One field that is emerging with cybersecurity is criminal justice. Criminal justice has much crossover, with the rise in cyber crime, criminal justice experts must be well versed in the field of cyber security to better understand how these crimes are committed and best practice at preventing breaches. The better Criminal justice understands cyber crime, the more data security analysts can get about the demographic of attackers and how to de-incentivize these attacks. Computer science also has a lot of crossover with security. Many security breaches look to exploit systems already in place, so understanding how the code works in our system helps us understand what its weaknesses are and how the systems get taken advantage of. Computer engineers interact with security a great deal on the hardware side, there are often physical barriers we can try to put in place to make systems safer and more secure and understanding how physical systems can be exploited will serve to help create more secure systems. On the industrial side, mechanical engineering and mechanical engineering technology have need to interact with security analysts, large corporations with are particularly at risk of an attack as hackers can take systems at ransom and cause lost profits or cause systems to start interfering with each other, with heavy machinery this can become a more physical threat as on top of financial. Leadership may be the most important major that crosses over with cybersecurity. The basis of all security plans is making that staff is well informed of vulnerabilities and best practices to combat outside attacks. It starts with good leadership being well informed on current cyber events and working with analysts to formulate plans and presentations to pass along to all employees.
