DISCUSSION BOARD

The development of cyber-policy and infrastructure must be approached with a recognition of the “short arm” of predictive knowledge. This means that we cannot predict all the potential threats and risks in cyberspace. Therefore, we need to adopt a proactive and adaptive approach to cybersecurity.

One approach is to adopt a risk management framework that involves identifying, assessing, and prioritizing cybersecurity risks. This approach involves continuous monitoring and updating of cybersecurity measures to address new threats. Additionally, it’s important to have a multi-layered defense strategy that includes strong technical controls, policies, and procedures, as well as awareness training for employees and other stakeholders.

Another key aspect of developing cyber-policy and infrastructure is collaboration and information sharing. Governments, private organizations, and other stakeholders must work together to share information about threats, vulnerabilities, and best practices to mitigate cybersecurity risks. This can help build a more comprehensive and effective defense against cyber threats.

Finally, it’s crucial to invest in research and development to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of cybersecurity measures. This includes developing new technologies and tools to better protect against cyber threats, as well as improving the resilience of critical infrastructure. By taking a comprehensive and collaborative approach to cybersecurity, we can better protect ourselves against the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats.
