الإرهاب السيبراني و الأمن الدولي : التهديدات العالمية الجديدة و أساليب المواجهة

Abstract EN

The goal of this inquiry is finding the solutions for keeping the cyber area safe.

because the cyber-terrorism has been a true threat for the international security.

cyber terrorism is any deliberate, politically motivated attack against information, computer systems, computer programs, and data, which results in violence against non-combatant targets by sub-national groups or clandestine agents.

cyber-terrorism can be also defined as the intentional use of computers, networks, and public internet to cause destruction and harm for personal objectives.

there are many different motives for cyber-attacks, especially perhaps the financial reasons.

however, there is increasing evidence that hackers are becoming more politically motivated.

cyber-terrorists are aware that governments are reliant on the internet and have then badly exploited this.

therefore, states need strategies for keeping the cyber area safe, through conventions and major legal instruments that specifically deal with terrorist acts.
