Responses to Cyber Terrorism (NATO Science for Peace and Security) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Sponsored by the Centre of Excellence--Defence Against Terrorism, a NATO workshop held in Ankara, Turkey (October 2007) focused on the world's vulnerability to attacks via computer or communication networks in the service of a nefarious agenda. Such attacks could cause fear and intimidate as well as disrupt systems that control physical processes in places like chemical factories, dams, and power stations. The participants were asked to focus on responding to attacks rather than trying to prevent them. Ten contributions from counter terrorism and communications experts based in Turkey, Israel, Germany, the US, and Estonia discuss the history of the internet, the building of a multinational counter-terrorism campaign, critical information infrastructure protection, a threat analuysis of the use of the internet by terrorists, al-Qaeda's reliance on the internet, and legal and policy issues connected with international prosecution and prevention of cyber terrorism, among other topics. A summary chapter details ideas generated during the workshop in response to questions regarding the aims and targets of cyber terrorists and measures for disrupting and dealing with attacks.
