Prompt: Explain how the principles of science relate to cybersecurity

The principles of science are as follows; Relativism, Objectivity, Parsimony, Empiricism, Skepticism, Ethical Neutrality, and Determinism.
When talking about relativism the principle stems from that all things are related. Therefore applying this to cybersecurity can come in many different examples. A couple of examples are that the tech system has led to the development of the cyber world and that the criminal justice system has now improved methods to respond to crime. These examples follow the trend of how cybersecurity developments develop other areas around it.
Objectivity is a mindset in which one remains focused and unbiased toward the intended goal. This can be applied to cybersecurity in the way that those pursuing this path must remain focused on their objective. Examples of how objectivity is applied are through questions such as how should hackers be punished and whether should technology be used to monitor sex offenders. These questions arise many thoughts, but through objectivity, the task at hand will not be influenced by those thoughts, but rather by the work that is being done.
Parsimony as a principle addresses the level of explanation that is presented and that should come off as simple as possible. How this ties in with cybersecurity is the fact that while explaining the methods and actions behind cybersecurity the explanations are kept as simple as possible. This ensures that those being told will be able to follow along and can then go off and test these explanations that are being given.
Empiricism refers to the ability to study only the factors that are real to the senses. This being applied to cybersecurity means that those within the field can not and should not rely on factors that are not able to be confirmed. Examples are hunches or opinions that are attempting to frame the understanding of crime and security within the cyber world.
Ethical Neutrality is the fact that the processes done must be in line with ethical standards. This can be present in cybersecurity in many different means. Some examples are whether should police use technology in order to track human behavior and how much money companies make off of the data that they gather about their users.
Lastly, the principle of determinism refers to the actions that are caused, determined, or influenced by preceding events. This is applied to cybersecurity in the way of a mixture of taking into account previous events and knowing that each event is an individual event. The questions of why individuals choose to commit internet fraud and why people share their passwords. There are answers that can be perceived through past events, but to base, everything on the past will encourage wrongful behavior.
