The principles of science relate to cybersecurity in numerous ways.

Determinism:

Determinism means that an outcome is caused or influenced by a preceding event. When related to cybersecurity, determinism is that an attack had occurred because of a previous event. An example of this would be if an employee opened up a phishing email and downloaded malware, which lead to a data breach within the company. The preceding event would be the downloading of the malware via email. And the data breach would be the outcome.

Parsimony:

Parsimony is the method of explaining things in the simplest way possible. In relation to cybersecurity, parsimony would be creating a simple procedure to be used as a guide when incidents occur or when a new policy is made

Objectivity:

Objectivity involves an unbiased opinion and depends solely on information provided.

In cybersecurity, objectivity is important because during incident response and investigation, it is important to rely only on the information or evidence provided, instead of assuming.
