When asked what does cyber security mean to them, most people would respond with computer engineers, other high technical fields or hackers. This of coarse is understandable given the effect Hollywood has had on our cultural view of the cyber realm as a whole. However, what is often over looked is the simple footprint of human nature all over the digital landscape. We cannot ignore the human element. Afterall, the digital world is driven by the wants and desires of the human condition. With that said, there is truly no way to separate the social sciences nor the principals of their application from cyber security. We must take into account the motivations of those who choose to use the digital realm to victimize as well as the habits of their victims so we can better identify ways to protect them. That takes research and experimentation. In other words, Cyber Security requires the scientific method.
