Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting computer systems, networks, and data from unauthorized access, attacks, or damage. It involves techniques such as encryption, firewall protection, and intrusion detection to safeguard sensitive information from cyber threats.

Social sciences, on the other hand, study human behavior and societies. It includes disciplines like sociology, psychology, anthropology, and economics, aiming to understand social structures, relationships, and how individuals and groups interact within society. Both fields intersect in areas like cybersecurity’s impact on society, privacy concerns, and the ethical implications of digital security.
