Cybersecurity is often viewed as a highly technical discipline; however, it is also deeply rooted in the social sciences. The effectiveness of cybersecurity practices depends not only on technology, but on human behavior, ethical decision-making, public policy, and legal frameworks that shape how digital systems are used and protected. Social factors such as privacy expectations, trust in technology, and societal responses to cyber threats play a critical role in cybersecurity outcomes. Understanding these social dimensions is essential to developing responsible, effective cybersecurity strategies that address both technical vulnerabilities and the human elements of the digital world.

The following images further illustrate my perspective on cybersecurity as a social science by highlighting the importance of human behavior, policy, ethics, and societal influence in shaping secure digital environments.
