THE RADICALIZATION OF HIGH-TECH TERRORISM

Ivica Petrović, Dragana Trnavac

Abstract


High-tech terrorism has been a risk since the advent of the Internet. Technology has evolved at a rapid pace, thus the risk and impact of high-tech terrorism. Importantly, there are secure and up-to-date mechanisms to mitigate the risks of high-tech terrorism, with international cooperation to further advance investigations and information. This paper discusses mechanisms such as application security, security policies, education understanding of programs, international collaboration, monitoring and artificial intelligence (VI), monitoring, use and disruption of access. The implementation of all mechanisms is facilitated by computer networks and systems that are less vulnerable because each mechanism has separate functions to counter high-tech terrorism. As a result, the goals for this research prove a positive correlation between the mechanisms identified and the perceived risk of high-tech terrorism. There have been various initiatives, introduced by authorities around the world, to ensure that the threat of high-tech terrorism is under control. However, the threat of high-tech terrorism is steadily rising due to the constant development of Internet-based platforms. Thus, the implementation of the law, policies, practices and necessary measures should continue with the modern development of computer technologies.
