One of the four majors I will compare cyber security is the major I am pursuing, which is computer science. Cyber security is a very specific branch of computer science. Similar to how cyber security is a interdisciplinary effort, computer science is as well with cyber security acting as on of those disciplines. While computer science is more centered around building computers and software systems, cyber security is focuses on safeguarding those systems.

Another major to compare to cyber security would be information technology. IT is another field that encompasses a wide array of topics. CS being one of those. IT has a large need for cyber security which is why it is included in IT programs. Safeguarding information is a key objective in cyber security.

Two more majors I like to compare with CS is both Sociology and Philosophy. These majors both ask the how, why and what. These questions together can be used in cyber security to determine why a cyber attack may occur, how it will occur, and what will the cyber attack be targeting.
