Deviance is achieved through computer abuse or internet abuse at work. For example, workers spend hours on social networks, shopping online, or viewing movies while on duty instead of focusing on work. It takes time and resources from the company. A good example is when workers use technology to steal. They can copy confidential documents, customer data, or business plans and forward them to others or use them for personal gain. Cyber technologies make it easy to conceal such activities, which can be dangerous for businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In cybersecurity, the “short arm” of predictive knowledge, Jonas’ idea that we can’t know the long-term impact of new technology, calls for prudent and responsible handling of cyber-policy and infrastructure. Because cybersecurity threats are fast-moving and unforeseen, policy must be designed with the recognition that we can’t possibly know all outcomes or risks. Jonas would challenge us to take moral responsibility for future consequences. This involves bringing not just the technology experts and ethicists into the policy-making mix, but public interests, in terms of decision-making regarding surveillance, data collection, and deployment of AI systems with a mind for long-term social implications and not merely convenience or profit. Jonas warns that we need to be prudent, responsible, and visionary when approaching cybersecurity, we are at most risk of what we do not see and anticipate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As technology advances, the world is transforming in enormous ways. The day-to-day items like phones, vehicles, and even home appliances are internet-based and can make smart choices. This phenomenon is known as intelligification, and it just means that technology is starting to impact our choices. At the same time, governments are increasingly unable to keep up with everything and cannot control everything. Therefore, we need new mechanisms to make sure that companies, online communities, and individuals use technology in a safe and fair manner. Companies and markets need to be held responsible for integrating safety and fairness into their products. Smart cars, for example, should automatically follow regulations. Online communities need to work together to stop harmful activity and the spread of disinformation. And individuals have to be careful how they employ technology and release information. Where everything is integrated and the government cannot do everything, everyone has to help safeguard others and be responsible using technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Having learned about the NICE Workforce Framework, the area that I would like to The empiricism principle helps to support cybersecurity by utilizing tangible evidence for decision making as opposed to speculation. By collecting data and analyzing past attacks, organizations are able to anticipate attack k patterns and emerging threats before they spread. Empirical data also allows security teams to experiment and measure the effectiveness of existing defenses rather than speculate. For example, logs and intrusion attempts can be used to detect vulnerabilities that have not been encountered before. This empirical approach signifies that the strategies are continually being revised to address evolving threats. Overall, empiricism enhances cybersecurity as it makes it proactive, responsive, and based on tested outcomes instead of speculation<\/p>\n\n\n\n PrivacyRights.org’s “Data Breach Chronology” contains publicly accessible data such as the number of records leaked, the type of information leaked, like names, addresses, and Social Security numbers, date of data breach, organization, and how the breach was done. Analysts can then use that data to identify trends over time, like which industries are hit hardest, what kind of information is most frequently targeted, or which kinds of breaches are increasing. From those trends, they can forecast where breaches will increase, inform policy recommendations, and help organizations gauge and maximize security spending<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDiscussion Board: The “Short Arm” of Predictive Knowledge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

specialize in my career is Program\/Project Management. I like this area because it involves
planning, organizing, and ensuring that projects are completed successfully. Leadership and
team management are strengths that I enjoy, and project management would allow me to apply
these abilities to manage individuals and keep things in motion. My least favorite field is Design
and Development. Even though I realize it’s important to create systems and tools, I’m less
interested in the technical process of creating software or in programming. I would prefer to
concentrate on planning and project management as opposed to designing or programming.
In general, I am most drawn towards the management facet of cybersecurity, where I get to
combine leadership and safety, and least drawn towards the technical development and design
end.<\/p>\n\n\n\nJournal Entry 2: How does the principle of empiricism enhance the effectiveness of cybersecurity practices?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
