It brings up to relation of how law enforcement should respond to these crimes, what the punishment should be, and the study of how to prevent this in the future.
Information Systems & Technology has a very close relation to Cybersecurity, possibly one of the backbone studies of the degree. With Information Systems & Technologies, it delves into how the systems operate with direction from the professionals who maintain them. Cybersecurity is completely laced into these system. In some business models, the information security is an essential sector in the whole system.

This study can shine light on how societal influences and changes can create cyber crime. With these societal groups, it can go over how they interact with each other, and how current technology impacts this behavior.
Communications Systems Technology is a program offered by ODU that is also integrated with Electrical Engineering Technologies. These studies work with modern communication systems, how to design, develop, and support the computer networks that connects everyone around the world. The critical Cybersecurity integration is how Cybersecurity relies on competent communications design to ensure information integrity. It also is the system that connects critical systems such as energy and transportation systems. Cybersecurity is implements to make sure these systems are properly protected.
