There are seven principles of science which are: relativism, objectivity, parsimony, empiricism, ethical neutrality, determinism and skepticism.

Relativism is related to the idea that every entity is linked. In the framework of cybersecurity, it is related to the great reliance on technology in educational systems, the change of social structures to fit technology-driven behaviors, and the creation of fresh strategies to crime prevention inside the criminal justice system.

Objectivity is the method by which researchers examine topics without considering their intrinsic worth. We believe that science does not exist; rather, it is objectively advanced knowledge. If we do objective study grounded on facts and evidence instead of our subjective understanding, this could be relevant in cybersecurity.

The idea behind parsimony is that scientists should keep their explanations as little in complexity. In the subject of cybersecurity, this is offering a clear, readily tested rationale for next studies.

Social scientists can only examine behavior using the five senses—touch, taste, sight, hearing, and scent—in the empiricism principlel. This relates to cybersecurity by use of “real-world” features like sight, which helps identify and recognize occurrences.

The idea known as ethical neutrality holds that researchers have ethical obligations to follow. Guaranteeing the rights of the people under examination and being ready for objective, empirical investigation on the area of concern. This is relevant since it suggests that, instead of ethical considerations, your attacks should be rooted upon facts.

Determinism is the theory that past events either define or influence the conduct. Cybersecurity is crucial here since the attacks are the outcome of possible events and could help to resolve next ones.

Lastly, skepticism is the premise that all assertions should be scrutinized and evaluated meticulously instead of being unquestioningly accepted. In the realm of cybersecurity, the rigorous testing, validation, and exploration of alternative explanations demonstrate a strong commitment to addressing all potential threats.
