4 other majors I chose that relate to cybersecurity that ODU has to offer are criminology, computer engineering, cybercrime, and electronics engineering. Each of these majors is uniquely related to cybersecurity for different reasons. To start out with, criminology serves as kind of a broad root for all kinds of crime. However, there is a cyber-related element to it. I would define criminology as the study of how and why crime takes place. Studying why crimes happen on the internet can help officials and society understand how to make new and improved precautionary measures to prevent that specific crime from happening again. Secondly, computer engineering is related to cybersecurity because engineers who design software and hardware can specifically design features to help block cyber criminals. They can help to protect sensitive or classified data while designing technology. Building a secure and safe way to keep cyber criminals out is essential in today’s world as more and more cyber criminals figure out how to crack through security measures in technology. Next, cybercrime is directly related to cybersecurity because cybercrime is like the product of a weak security system. Because the system was weak and had flaws, or maybe was poorly designed, cybercrime emerges and damages or steals valuable information from that system. I think the best definition for cybercrime is simply crime that happens on any piece of technology or the internet. Even though cyber criminals obviously mean no good, we can use study their methods of online crime to develop stronger security measures to defend better against those actions. Finally, electronics engineering is related to cybersecurity because, like computer engineering, electronics engineering involves people who design technology of all types, not just computers. Any piece of technology can be hacked or broken into, not just computers. Therefore, electronics engineering is just as valuable as computer engineering because just about everybody in today’s world owns a phone or tablet of some sort. Not everybody thinks about the repercussions of not being safe with their technology, which is why we have electronical engineers to help protect our technology from cyber criminals. All of these majors are related to cybersecurity because they help us to defend and learn from our past mistakes.
