How does your major relate to cybersecurity technology?
I am a Chemistry major at Old Dominion University. In the future, I am going to use my Chemistry degree to work in a forensics lab and analyze ballistics. My Chemistry degree and cybersecurity technology relate because I am in hopes going to be working in the security field. Although I will be working with crimes that happen most likely in person and not with something that happens over the internet, they both are working towards bettering the security of an individual. Also in Chemistry it is important to have the skills of working with technology, and understanding how it works. This will allow someone who is in the Chemistry/forensics field to figure out how a crime occurred and the reasoning for it.

Overall cybersecurity is one aspect of the criminal justice system. Criminology and cybersecurity are there in order to protect individuals from attackers. Another major that relates to cybersecurity is biology. Biology can be used in the law enforcement field in order to figure out who committed a crime. This can be done through DNA analysis of fingerprints, hair, or blood, so it is just another way to work in the field of law. Cybersecurity can be used to find the “DNA” of someone who is committing a crime online because most criminals have a signature that they stick to, so that can be like their DNA.

Business Administration relates because in a business there needs to be a cybersecurity program and this is something that the business administrator could take care of for the company.

This type of knowledge that is needed in order to have a well-run cyber security program.
