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

 Cyber policy is the overall approach of making sure people are safe from threats on the internet like cybercriminals. In today’s society, everyone puts their trust in technology to store, collect, and manage their private information. Many people do not know of the potential harm that comes with doing that. This is where the development of cyber policy comes in. Companies need cyber policies to create a guideline for protection against threats to the companies infrastructure. The development of Cyber policy is needed not only for the guidelines of protection of data but also for the protection of an individual’s private information. I believe that certain cyber policies are very important and lay a good foundation for basic cybersecurity success. For example, many specific cyber policies such as Virus Protection Policy established guidelines on how to protect yourself and others from viruses.  Anybody that is trying to prevent harm should be studying and trying to identify the best practices to stop potential harm. The development of cyber policy is the most important and effective way for companies to protect and defend themselves and customers’ personal information, and this should be the biggest priority for all companies old and new. We should approach cyber policy and infrastructure closely with the NIST cybersecurity framework. Anybody that is trying to prevent harm should be studying and trying to identify the best practices to stop potential harm.  The development of cyber policy is the most important and effective way for companies to protect and defend themselves and customers’ personal information, and this should be the biggest priority for all companies old and new. 

2. How does cyber technology impact interactions between offenders and victims?

It impacts it through offenders being easily accessible to the victim through the means of the internet through various ways such as social media and ads. It’s very easy to fall into a trap as a victim and it’s very hard to prevent this unless you know beforehand what to look out for.
