Explain how the principles of science relate to cybersecurity.
Principles of science relate to cybersecurity in multiple ways; problems are identified and investigated, potential ideas or theories are formed as solutions to those problems, those ideas/theories are tested, results are recorded, conclusions based on those results are made and whichever solution was the most effective will be used and expanded on later. The systematic approach remains the same for the most part, and the ideas are implemented in a way that can be applied to cyber-related issues.
For example: analysis of data on recent cyberattacks and potential threats could reveal that there are certain vulnerabilities in an internal system. The threats could be dealt with individually where they are investigated, and ideas are proposed that could mitigate or remedy the threat; the ideas could then be tested in some sort of isolated environment where the effects of the testing won’t interfere with the normal operations of the system; results of the testing are recorded where they will likely be compared in order to figure out the best solution; conclusions are made regarding the best solution that will be implemented and likely expanded on in the future to keep remedying the problem (until it is invalid). This type of approach could be applied to a multitude of cybersecurity-related issues.
