Abstract
Research into cyber-conflict, public opinion, and international security is burgeoning, yet the field suffers from an absence of conceptual agreement about key terms. For instance, every time a cyberattack takes place, a public debate erupts as to whether it constitutes cyberterrorism. This debate bears significant consequences, seeing as the ascription of a "terrorism" label enables the application of heavy-handed counterterrorism powers and heightens the level of perceived threat among the public. In light of widespread conceptual disagreement in cyberspace, we assert that public opinion plays a heightened role in understanding the nature of cyber threats. We construct a typological framework to illuminate the attributes that drive the public classification of an attack as cyberterrorism, which we test through a ratings-based conjoint experiment in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Israel (N = 21,238 observations). We find that the public (1) refrains from labeling attacks by unknown actors or hacker collectives as cyberterrorism; and (2) classifies attacks that disseminate sensitive data as terrorism to a greater extent even than physically explosive attacks. Importantly, the uniform public perspectives across the three countries challenge a foundational tenet of public opinion and international relations scholarship that divided views among elites on foreign policy matters will be reflected by a divided public. This study concludes by providing a definitive conceptual baseline to support future research on the topic.

Researchers develop the conception of intellectual security by relating the introductory understanding of cyberterrorism, the difference between cyberterror attacks, and activities supporting. This study uses an inductive approach to formulate a general framework. The data collection technique used is a secondary data that is obtained through literature review from libraries and internet. The result of this study attempts to clarify the distinction between cyberterror attacks and support by examining them in terms of the generalities of confidentiality, integrity, and vacuity. A breach of confidentiality occurs if an unauthorized stoner earnings access to information. A breach of confidentiality is an act of cyberterror support. There are three introductory generalities of intellectual security; As the moderation of human understanding of religious and political issues, understanding deviation and human civilizations; As the harmony between the state and society to save individuals and groups from doctrinal or intellectual that may be the cause of deviations in behavior and thoughts from the right path; As safety of human thought from deviation which leads to maintaining public order. Our study differs from former exploration by offering the conception of intellectual security to fight cyberterrorism. Researchers believe that this conception can be developed further through subsequent study.

This report discusses current domestic legal framework surrounding cyber warfare and cyber terrorism. It also points out cyber warfare ecosystem and Use of the Military: Offensive Cyberspace Operations.
BASE
"Nowadays, in Cyberspace there is a burst of information that everyone has access. However, apart from the advantages the Internet offers, it also hides numerous dangers for both people and nations. Cyberspace has a dark side, including terrorism, bullying, and other types of violence. Cyberwarfare is a kind of virtual war that causes the same destruction that a physical war would also do. A hybrid threat is an umbrella term, encompassing a wide variety of existing adverse circumstances and actions, such as terrorism, migration, piracy, corruption, ethnic conflict etc and is not exclusively a tool of asymmetric or non-state actors, but can be applied by state and non-state actors alike. 'Cyber-conflict' and 'cyber-war' serve as examples of the use of new technologies within the scope of hybrid threats. Cyber-war basically refers to a sustained computer-based cyber-attack by a state against the IT infrastructure of a target state. On the other hand cyber-security is a major factor that shapes productivity and efficiency of the modern industry in both technical and economic terms. The book discusses and analyses current posture of cyberterrorism, cyberwarfare, and hybrid threats, sector specific cyber-attacks that have the form of cyberterrorism and presents the recent actions that EU, USA and other Nations have taken in order to strengthen their systems against such attacks. There has never been a higher risk of a major catastrophe as a result of the rise in offensive cyber activity, particularly the possibility of cyber-physical strikes against critical services. Recent cyber-attacks against critical infrastructures along with the continuous migration crisis have been the main driving forces that led to the decision to publish this book"--

There is considerable debate about whether cyberterrorism poses a serious threat to society. Although much has been dramatized in the popular media, there is legitimate danger. Because the term cyberterrorism has been improperly used and overused, a clear understanding of the danger of cyberterrorism must begin with a clear definition. Currently, computer networks are attacked and compromised daily because of the security's inability to keep pace with the growth of connectivity and because of readily available hacking tools and techniques. Because most critical infrastructure is networked, it is at risk. Although many of the daily invasions are hackers trying to get in just to see if they can, acts of vandalism, or denial-of-service attacks, individuals are gaining access to sensitive information. The real danger of cyberterrorism, however, lies in the computer's use as both a terrorist tactic and a force multiplier.

The article addresses the problem of the problem of cyberterrorist attacks on information resources and information infrastructure. The author gives a criminological description of various types of cyberterrorism and offers options for qualifying crimes of a cyberterrorist nature. Based on foreign experience, various models and main directions of countering cyberterrorism are substantiated.
Presents a multidisciplinary approach to cyber-terrorism Evaluates the adequacy of current practical approaches to deter, identify, and respond to cyber-terrorist attacks Includes a glossary of key terms, graphic illustrations of cyber-terrorist threats, attacks, case studies and a brief guide to further reading and resources.
