Cyberterrorism: An Introduction

A cyber attack can mean many things in our modern world. It can describe anything from an electronic breach to a financial institution to a full fledged attack on our nation's physical infrastructures. These include our nation's defense systems, water supply systems, and transportation networks. It is critical that the public be informed of the potential threat that a cyber attack would bring. The Center for Terrorism Law recognizes the importance of keeping up with current developments regarding cyberterrorism. We are working constantly to ensure that the information on our site displays only the latest information in this emerging field.
