How should we approach the development of cyber-policy and -infrastructure given the “short arm” of predictive knowledge? The fact of the matter with cybersecurity is that it should be talked about in a matter of “it’s better to be safe than sorry”, rather than just waiting for an incident to happen before a company beefs up their security. The development of cyber policy and infrastructure should be swift and as secure as we can make it, without risking exploitation of a server or the leaking of data. If a new business were to be opened, one of the best courses of action they could take would be to first train their members with knowledge of cyber security and then develop a system to where they can consistently update said system with the latest and best features that is offered. By doing this, the new company is taking away a major risk of being hacked and shutdown, or hacked and data leaked to the competition, all because they thought ahead, or better yet, predicted that this type of event may happen right underneath their noses. Business owners and managers should also be taught the basics of cybersecurity, so that they can better help and equip their staff with equipment that is not only safe, but reliable so they do not worry about the adverse effects that come from not being prepared or well equipped. If the company cannot outright afford a reliable cybersecurity system, the minimum they should do is have a secure firewall, with a knowledgeable staff who can consistently monitor and report any problems that arise. This cuts down on a few risks that many small businesses may face during their startup and gradual build to being an established company. Companies, no matter the size, should always be on the offensive when it comes to defending their business and information. In addition, if these companies are at least one step ahead of the game, they fare a far better chance of not being hacked than their opposition.
