The Rise of Cyber-Terrorism, and the Future of its Detection

The year is 2020 and the terrorist organization known as ISIS just targeted a major city in the US - bringing their emergency avg.com/retail  services to www.avg.com/activate the breaking point, forcing their transport systems to shut down, and leaving the city in complete darkness.avg internet securityThis attack, orchestrated by the terrorist avg.com/activation organization, was due to a series www.avg.com/activation of cascading events and some of the most complex Install Avg With License Number activation cyber-terror attacks that the world has ever seen.

Thankfully, these events avg.com/activation did not occur today, nor have events like them ever occurred in global history Install Avg With License Number activation. They are, however, a senario written by Kyle R. Brady, a researcher at Pennsylvania State University avg internet security avg.com/retail , and are designed to help other researchers www.avg.com/activate respond to www.avg.com/activation and mitigate complex cyber-terror attacks.

To date, we haven’t seen cyber-terror avg.com/activation attacks meet the capability of physical terror attacks www.avg.com/activation. That being the case, however, this type of hypothesized avg internet security research shows us Install Avg With License Number activation that these types of attacks www.avg.com/activate are possible avg.com/retail  and could occur in the near future.

A History of Ideological Cyber crime

Over the past 25 years, the ideological cyber crime www.avg.com/activation landscape  avg.com/retail has changed exponentially www.avg.com/activate, with the below avg.com/activation diagram highlighting avg internet security some of the key historic Install Avg With License Number activation events.

From virtual sit-ins and denial Install Avg With License Number activation of service attacks, to terrorist organizations adopting cyber capability and hacktivists targeting US government  avg.com/activation officials avg internet security, it can be seen that the scope and impact of ideological cyber-crime has greatly increased over time. This timeline is www.avg.com/activate, however avg.com/retail , missing the last five years as well as www.avg.com/activation any indication of what’s next.

Looking back at Brady’s scenario Install Avg With License Number activation, as well as the fact that avg.com/retail  these cyber crime activities have been increasing www.avg.com/activate in impact over the last few years confirms avg internet security that not only are more avg.com/activation severe and damaging cyber-attacks possible www.avg.com/activation but also likely. With this in mind, what can be done to protect against these types of attacks
