Because of the vast number of technologies and societal aspects\u00a0that require the security component there are many other majors that can be related to cybersecurity in one way or another. First let’s look at the major offered by ODU called Information Systems & Technology. This major focuses on integrating the new technologies and systems into business, but before this can happen, these technologies must be looked at in a cyber security way. Meaning these technologies need to be vulnerability tested, and the systems used to deliver these technologies need to make sure they are following various data regulations and other cyber security regulations. Moving on to one of the most popular majors Computer Science. Computer Science majors will deal with various aspects of cyber security, Computer Science is the study of computers itself, whether that be building software, designing artificial intelligence, and in general the theory of computing. When building software you can build it with no security in mind, but what happens when you release it to the public? They will find ways to exploit it and reputations will be hurt.\u00a0Computer Science majors should always have security in the front of their mind when developing new technology. Engineering is another major that must take responsibility of\u00a0cyber security. You might be engineering power systems, nuclear, communications, aerospace, mechanical, electrical, etc. Especially when engineering critical infrastructure security needs to be top notch. The last major I will discuss is Cybercrime, this major focuses on the real-world penalties someone might face in the eyes of the law. As more people go\u00a0on the internet, the more cybercrime will increase, that is why we need professionals in the area of cyber-criminal justice to specialize in putting these bad guys away.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
