Prompt: Explain how the principles of science relate to cybersecurity.
Relativism is related to cybersecurity because the cybersecurity system is related to many other systems including the educational, economic, criminal justice, technological, and legal systems. Changes in these systems can also influence cybersecurity itself. Objectivity relates to cybersecurity because we must ignore opinions and biases while studying cybersecurity research questions. Similarly, empiricism requires us to study behavior based on the senses and on experience rather than pure opinion. Both of these allow our research into cybersecurity concepts to be as accurate as possible. These also tie into ethical neutrality where we need to protect the rights of the individuals we study as well as exploring cybersecurity ethical issues. Additionally, explanations in cybersecurity need to be as simple as possible according to the principle of parsimony. Determinism is very important in cybersecurity too because it explains that behavior has either one or multiple causes. This helps us understand why cybersecurity incidents happen. Finally, we must study cybersecurity issues using critical examination and by questioning claims according to skepticism. Instead of taking something at face value, we have to validate any of our findings before accepting them as fact.
