Explain how the principles of science relate to cybersecurity.

Just like how science use the methodical approach to their research or experiment, cybersecurity uses the same approach as science to test and improve their security systems. The cybersecurity experts also create a hypothesis about a potential threat and work towards testing their system through pen testing and analyze the data/result to improve their defense. Doing this increase their security and makes their technology/organization reliable and effective. Moreover, scientists also predict and defend themselves from threat actors by using data, mathematical models, experiments and analysis. So, that’s how science and cybersecurity are related.
