How should we approach the development of cyber-policy and infrastructure given the “short arm” of predictive knowledge?

As the internet evolves so does cybercrime. We never know what’s around the corner waiting, but what we do know is that change is inevitable. Which is why it is essential to make implement cyber-policies consider evolution. Cyber-policies must be able to be change and adapt with time. It is important that organizations frequently revisit cyber security policies, because being out of touch with current threats creates vulnerability, which increases the likelihood of a data breach happening. Organizations may not be able to see what’s coming but by using prior knowledge and implement secure system organizations can stand a chance against the millions of threats flooding the internet Even with all the forethought and predictive analysis, and safeguards in place date is often still compromised. It is important for organizations to share information on attacks to aid in identifying trends to isolate cyber-attacks. When creating new policies surrounding modern technology, legislators and policymakers must be aware that these guidelines are foundations for the future and the choices made must be carefully considered. The choices made today have the ability to positively or negatively impact future decisions.
