PREVENTION MEASURES AND SECURITY POLICIES AGAINST CYBER TERRORISM

Abstract

Cyber terrorism is perhaps the biggest threat to the national and international security of states since the time of mass destruction. As the state and their business become more and more networked, mostly through information networks, the Internet, and the international financial system of global trade, the effects of cyber-terrorist attacks will have an increasing impact. Likewise, it is important that cyber terrorists gain experience in disrupting national security and openness of information infrastructure, and their attacks will probably become more successful. Although the state, private industry, and international organizations have made significant efforts to increase international co-operation, much more needs to be done. We must realize that, given the fundamental weaknesses in the structure of the Internet, further efforts are needed to fully prevent cyber terrorism. In this respect, and in order to detect this threat in the right way, intelligence and security cooperation, both bilaterally and multilaterally, including exchange of experience and relevant information in this area is necessary.
