It is getting increasingly difficult for security professionals to keep up with the exponential growth of cyber infrastructure. Therefore, there are a lack of accurate predictions of the future development of cyber policy and infrastructure. Security professionals should respond to this dilemma by creating protection and security systems that bypass our future expectations. For example, after IPv4 addresses were almost used up, we created IPv6 which has the possibility to have more addresses than we will ever need (340 trillion, trillion, trillion according to the website “internet society”. There will probably never be that many internet capable devices, at least in our lifetime, however we don’t know if the world will expand, or if every piece of equipment in the world will need an IP address at some point. Predictive knowledge can only look at past trends to attempt to predict the future. This assumes everything progresses in a mostly linear way which probably will not be the case since technology and artificial intelligence is so unpredictable. There has been so much unanticipated growth in the last 20-30 years from technology. Cryptography is another example of rapidly changing cyber infrastructure . Many of the algorithms that we have for it now are made to include a large amount of possibilities for the key making it extremely difficult to crack, but quantum computing now threatens that safety. Therefore, we need to make something that quantum computing cannot crack. Even though this special technology hasn’t fully been finished or taken effect in the real world, it is a clear threat that security professionals are aware of. Additionally, there may be even greater threats that come either from quantum computing or something beyond it. In conclusion, our security practices and defenses need to be built to withstand unimaginable threats that we haven’t seen yet.
