The social sciences relate to cybersecurity in many ways and their importance in the field cannot be overstated. Starting with relativism, or the idea that all things are connected, we must understand that a change in a field related to cybersecurity will relate to a change in cybersecurity. For example, when the COVID-19 pandemic forced many students to transition to online learning, it also increased the importance of cybersecurity for education. If schools rely heavily on well-defended servers for their students to learn, cybersecurity professionals need to adapt to the switch to online learning. Cybersecurity is constantly changing along with the fields it’s commonly connected with, reinforcing the idea of relativism. Objectivity is essential to the Cybersecurity field because its a risk to allow opinions to dominate the methods and circumstances around cybersecurity. We all may have opinions on the ethics of hacking, the possible misuse of cybersecurity technology, or the use of spyware for ethical reasons, but we must put these opinions aside to allow objective facts to determine how we advance cybersecurity. The importance of parsimony cannot be overstated, as overcomplicated explanations can lead to fewer experiments or studies being conducted. By simplifying cybersecurity theories, we can allow others to understand them more easily and enable more research to be done on them. Cybersecurity also must rely on empiricism, as we must rely on real evidence rather than assumptions or unsubstantiated beliefs. Ethical Neutrality is probably the most important of the social sciences to relate to cybersecurity, as there are many moral questions that arise when studying cybersecurity. There are many practices that currently exist, such as data gathering or government spying practices, that carry many ethical questions. Almost every advancement or practice within cybersecurity carries an ethical question along with it, meaning a strict ethics system is needed to operate correctly. Determinism simply states that behavior is influenced or caused by past events, which certainly applies to cybersecurity. The decision of individuals to become unethical hackers or work for companies, the decisions of companies on what practices to implement, and numerous other decisions are impacted partially by past events. While individuals do have free will, their choices are certainly influenced in some way by the events they’ve experienced, leading them to make choices based on multiple factors.
