Relativism is the understanding that all things are related when it comes to reliance on technology, meaning that a change in one system when it comes to cybersecurity can result in changes in other systems. Another principle of science that relates to cybersecurity is objectivity, which is how scientists study topics in a value-free or non-biased way, helping them to address serious social issues such as \u201cHow should hackers be punished?\u201d, or \u201cHow do we understand the promotion of white supremacy in the digital world?\u201d. Parsimony means that scientists should keep their analysis of human behavior\/motives as simple as possible. Empiricism means scientists studying social behavior must focus on what is real to the senses (touch, taste, smell, hear, see) and what we experience, not relying on opinions or hunches to create reliable research. These are just a few of the principles that scientists and researchers rely on to tackle serious questions when it comes to human behavior when it comes to cybercrime and\/or security.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The principles of science all relate to cybersecurity in different ways.
