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

Due to the fact that there are so many limitations and unknowns that exist regarding cyber policy and cyber infrastructure, it must be approached in a way that not only finds balance among those limitations but also uses existing knowledge to develop new mechanisms and strategies. It’s incredibly important that engineers and other cyber-technicians build upon preexisting knowledge to maintain continuity among cyber technology advancements and also to ensure that new advancements align those that predate it. This is also why it’s important that new advancements in cyber technology, regarding both infrastructure and policy, be flexible but also easily adaptable to account for the constant fluctuation of cybersecurity; this would require that not only are the systems regularly updated and overlooked, and in some cases will require constant oversight depending on the scope and complexity of the system and/or policy. It’d likely also be helpful it policy makers and researchers looked into new types of emerging cyber technologies and other types of policies from around the world, specifically those of course that have have high-quality cyber policy and infrastructure within their country, to improve upon its current state in the United States by way of looking for any gaps that are present. One of the easiest ways that could be used in relation to improving cyber policy and infrastructure is to simply educate individuals and organizations about it. Awareness is fundamental to any kind of improvement and taking the initiative helps people learn and understand the current state of the United States’ cyber policy and infrastructure could provide invaluable insight regarding improvements that need to be made, and could spark new innovations. Educating people would also show those that are completely novice to the topic how they can be resilient, and actually use the technology and existing policies to their benefit.
