CYBER RISKS AND THREATS TO INTERNATIONAL SECURITY. CYBER TERRORISM – A SCOURGE THREATENING GLOBAL SECURITY

Summary/Abstract: Nowadays technology and particularly computers are controlling everything. Cyber threats against a controlled system refer to persons who attempt unauthorized access to a device and/or network using a data communications pathway.This access can be directed from within an organization by trusted users or from remote locations by unknown persons using the Internet. Threats to control systems can come from numerous sources, including hostile governments, terrorist groups, disgruntled employees,and malicious intruders. The potential threat posed by cyber terrorism has raised considerable alarm. Numerous security experts, politicians, and others have publicized the danger associated with cyber terrorists hacking into government and private computer systems and crippling the military, financial, and service sectors of advanced economies.Cyber terrorism is, to be sure, an attractive option for modern terrorists, who value its anonymity, its potential to inflict massive damage, its psychological impact, and its media appeal. To protect against these threats, it is necessary to create a secure cyber-barrier around; the states are facing the challenge of creating a “cyber proof” society while maintaining the actual democratic liberties. Also, they have to seek solutions to this complicated issue, without interrupting the current connections and systems in place, so the effect on society is kept to an acceptable level.
