Empiricism enhances cybersecurity practices by studying behavior and not relying on opinions or hunches to determine the understanding of cybercrime and cybersecurity. It is also combined with prior experience to determine the state of cybersecurity and cybercrime. It focuses on the senses touch, smell, sight, and hearing. Cybersecurity is not the place to allow opinions on cybercrime to determine the security measures that are put in place to ensure the safety of the data. Cybercrime needs to taken just as seriously as the crime that happens in day to day life. Just because the crime isn’t physically seen doesn’t diminish the dangers that could be brought on by it being treated less than crimes that are physically seen.
