Select four other majors offered by ODU and explain how those majors relate to cybersecurity.
The first major that i think relates to cyber security is computer science. This major relates to cyber security because if you want to know how to make secure computers, you need to know how they work. Being able to write code and understand how a computer works is very important to making a secure network. You won’t be able to properly defend networks and data if you don’t know how to actually code.
The second major that relates to cyber security has got to be computer engineering. I thought of this major because cyber security is not only being able to secure online networks. You still need to be able to have a strong physical defense for computers. The computers also have to have high computing power. If it has a higher computing power, it could possibly be able to defend against attacks easier.
Next, I want to discuss how cyber security relates to network engineering. Cyber security relates a lot to network engineering because to have a secure network you need to know how to set up the defense. Having a network cannot help out organizations immensely, but that will not matter if it can be hacked by others easily. Network engineering is like the one who keeps everything together in a network, but cyber security is the one who makes sure they are able to do their job safely.
Lastly i want to show how Math majors are important to the world of cyber security. Cyber security requires strong math skills because of the things that you need to be able to do. Being able to know programming and encryption are also important to cybersecurity and both of them need strong math skills. Math that is also related to data is important too, because you need to analyze data that’s given to you.
