Module 6: Development of Cyber Infrastructure & Policy

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


When it comes to cybersecurity policy, in general, it is a guideline that helps in keeping the security of data security as well as the technological infrastructure. Many people put trust in technology to store, collect, and manage the information, which leads to them being vulnerable to cyber threats. By trusting in technology, many do not know to risks, which leads to hackers to go into systems and ruin a business or for any other malicious gain.

To be safe from hackers as well as prevent damage, people or businesses need a strategical plan. There would have to be some changes made. Every cybersecurity strategy has to be different between business and industry but overall have a common goal for the plan to be a success. It is always better to have a smart plan than not having one at all as well as everyone understanding the importance of it. Cyber threats can happen at any moment, nobody is safe from them unless with the right precautions taken. It is better to have an open perspective, which leads to learning and adapting new methods of catching the threats ahead of time. In general, all systems should be protected as well as adding double protection if needed to be sure. When it comes to the infrastructure, it identifies the vulnerabilities within the network. For this, the right and proper strategic plan would tell the staff how and who is responsible for protecting data and systems as well as inform what specific programs are getting used to fighting cyber-attacks. Programs such as anti-malware, firewalls, antivirus, and much more. The IT team must be in charge of maintenance due that incidents need to get resolved quickly.

Whenever approaching a cyber-attack, the right and proper actions have to get taken to stop it. Cybersecurity is the most important thing to be on top of due that hackers are causing harm more through cyberspace. Everyone should take time to know techniques to be safe from attacks even with little knowledge. Cybercriminals are real and are sometimes one step ahead, but by having a cyber policy or strategy, it gives coverage against cyber-attacks and overall prevents damage to occur.
