There are 8 principles of science. They are relativism, objectivity, parsimony, objectivity, skepticism, ethical neutrality, and determinism. These scientific principles can be compared to the same principles of the natural sciences. Each principle is going to relate to cybersecurity in some way. Relativism means that all things are related, which means technology led to the development of cyberspace. This then leads to criminals acting via cyberspace and so on. Objectivity refers to the way scientists study topics in a value-free manner. Cybersecurity is a great topic for research. This research helps objectively advance knowledge. Parsimony keeps things simple, but cybersecurity loves simplicity, especially me. Empiricism is the study related to the senses like smell and taste. This is hard to relate to cyber, but in reality, it’s everything we can see. It is like watching people break into a system or seeing a virus take over your computer. Ethical neutrality refers to the fact that scientists must adhere to ethical standards when they conduct their research. There are many questions that refer to cybersecurity, like “Does limiting internet access to certain communities reduce cybercrime?” Finally, determinism means that behavior is influenced by preceding events. At the end of the day, we must ask why do individuals choose to engage in certain behaviors. Why do individuals share passwords or click on spam emails? These people do this out of curiousity or they just don’t know the consequences. It’s like teaching kids, they won’t know what happens unless they encounter the consequences. The principles of science relate to cybersecurity in everyway possible. They all make sense and support cybersecurity.
