“…This highlights the interest in cyber security content from students but creates a predicament in which students may be less inclined to enroll in qualifications that have a higher proportion of non-technical areas of cyber security, such as those outlined in the CyBOK category of human, organisational and regulatory aspects. However, recent analysis of job advertisements indicates how the technical aspects of cyber security needs to be complemented by the more human and managerial elements, as there are skills gaps in this area of cyber security in particular [18].…”

“…The digital world is growing at an exponential rate. This process faces regulatory gaps [1,2], staff shortages [3,4], new fields with diversified technologies [5,6], and sophisticated malicious actors. New areas with inherent technological specifics regarding hardware platforms and software applications are being developed.…”

The area of cybersecurity problems has reached the stage of becoming a science. This raises questions about the connection between the mathematical theories used in cybersecurity research and their relation to the methodology for experiments and conceptual models synthesized from the academic community. This research proposes an analytical review of the mathematical ideas used in applied cyber-security and theoretical explorations. This meta viewpoint is dedicated to standard mathematical theories applied in cybersecurity issues. The ground of the work is methodological problems relating to the validation of experiments and models with mathematical ideas in the cybersecurity exploration of digital space. This research emphasizes the application of game theory, catastrophe theory, queuing systems, and Markov chains. The methods are shown without claiming to be exhaustive. The goal is to review the currently established implementation of mathematical approaches to cybersecurity. A spectrum of possibilities for applying mathematical apparatus in future research for cybersecurity is given. After a review of the literature for each presented mathematical approach, we expose a list of problematic areas in which this has already been implemented.
