Abstract

A greater understanding of cyberterrorism and its interpersonal implications is needed. In addition, strategies need to be developed to prevent and/or prepare for cyberterrorist attacks. As such, this analysis is unique and important in that it examines social network theory and current counter-terrorism practices as a method of understanding how to crack, prevent, and prepare for cyberterrorism strikes. Moreover, present counterterrorism tactics are examined in an attempt to apply them into the realm of counter-cyberterrorism. A discussion section is provided, which includes future directions for researchers interested in this area. © 2008 by The Haworth Press.
