As human become more reliant on today’s technology, cybersecurity is being more and more critical. Not only it affects small and huge organizations but also individuals around the world. Because of this, the need of cyber policy and infrastructure is what should be implemented. The “short-arm” of predictive knowledge come to play as we navigate the constant evolvement of cybersecurity as it can be a challenge to get caught up with the latest threats and vulnerabilities.

Predictive knowledge defines as the ability to tell future events based on the past data trends. Co-relating it with cybersecurity means that anticipating future threats and preventing attacks before it happens. Although cyber analyst have this capabilites nowadays, it is also impossible for them to ensure full security as the change in cyber infrastructure is rapid and fast paced.

Given this circumstance, users or cyber security analsyt should take initiative and assume that there will be a possible cyber attack everyday. Implementing security measures, in the lines of intrusion detection system, putting up firewalls, and encrypting data to protect agaisnt unknown threats. We also need to focus on resilience. Predictive knowledge has its limitations, it is very crucial to give focus on building robust system and system that can recover quickly from any cyber attacks to avoid down time in operations.

End-users also need to share information across their organization. It essential to communicate and let others know what is going on to avoid more damage to their infrastructure. Organizations should also invest in educating their employees about cybersecurity. Cybersecurity awareness trainings are offerred to ensure that all end-users have the basic knowledge on how to determine threats and vulnerabilities that they will encounter. Training also teach them the best practices of cybersecurity which can help reduce the possibilities of attacks and minimize the impact.

In conclusion, “short-arm” predictive knowledge can be a challenging approach in developing cyber policy and infrastructure, there are various steps to take to mitigate all these challenges. Taking proactive approach, resiliency, sharing information, and investing in cybersecurity awareness training. All these tools can build a secure system that can withstand future cyber threats.
