Explain how the principles of science relate to cybersecurity.

Science and Cybersecurity have a deep coherent bold that interlinks the two in a
variety of ways. Science is the observation and identification of a theoretical explanation.
Cybersecurity relates to science as one of the major aspects of defending a system and
observing that system against threats. I would describe cybersecurity as a defense against
systems and devices. I would also say within the cybersecurity field the identification of threats
and the prevention of threats through tests such as pen testing. Pen testing can be thought of
as essentially, a science experiment. Authorized security professionals will run a mock cyber
attack on a computer system to see if it is strong enough to protect itself from the real
thing. There are also a lot of policies in cybersecurity such as when you agree to the terms of
service. These are related to the aspect of identification within a specific server. When agreeing
to these terms you are agreeing to be a part of a research study of some kind in which companies
trying to monetize someone’s intellectual property.
