Cybersecurity and the Social Sciences

Social sciences and cybersecurity are intwined in a sophisticated relationship where cybersecurity is focused on the concepts of human involvement in cyber offending and victimization as well as research.


Principles of Social Science:

Objectivity- Science is to advance knowledge not opinions or point of views.

Parsimony- Scientist should simply explain their research to make it easily understandable.

Empiricism- study human behavior only on human senses( touch, see, taste, hear, and smell)

Ethical Neutrality- Scientist must adhere to ethical standards when conducting research.

Determinism- human behavior is determined by previous events.

Skepticism- all claims should be questioned and critically examined.

Relativism- All things are related
