How should we approach the development of cyber-policy and -infrastructure given the “short arm” of predictive knowledge?  The approach when it comes to the development of cyber policy and infrastructure given the “short arm” of predictive knowledge should be thinking that by being a business, anything can happen.  Most small businesses do not store as much personal or confidential information but they still have some.  Now a big business, they store a lot of personal and confidential data.  Which would you say should get the priority?  Definitely the big business.  Why? Because although all businesses are vulnerable to virus and malware attacks to steal their data, mega corporations have a lot more to lose data wise.  But so do smaller businesses.  Smaller businesses, if their trust was to get messed up, that would mess up all of their future business.  Thus, hurting their money flow and then they would not be able to get the funding for a better program.  So, if you really think about it smaller businesses actually suffer more for not having a top of the line cybersecurity program.  Bigger corporations though, if they were to have a slip up, they might lose some money or some supporters.  But, for them it would be an easy fix because they have that extensive program that can protect their assets much better.  The approach should be to put help where help is needed.  Let there be fair business just so that everyone can be safe.  The bigger corporation would still get the better protection just because they can offer more money.  But, even the little business should get at least some help.  They have actually have a lot more to lose than a bigger corporation just because they do not have as much because they are just starting out.   They should at least have enough to protect them until they gradually start growing in to a bigger corporation.
