The Networks That Fight Cyberterrorist Networks

Abstract

This article analyzes how law enforcement agencies, cyber security labs (i.e., in universities), and other departments or organizations (i.e., the private sector and the U.S. military) create their own networks-and even join forces between one another-in their fight against cyberterrorists. By and large, cyberterrorism refers to electronic attacks against the Internet, information technologies, or other critical infrastructures. In order to engage in malicious activities against the Internet (as well as computer technologies, networks, and infrastructures), cyberterrorists create networks themselves. Hence, this idea of analyzing the social networks of two opposing sides rests on the premise that it takes networks to fight networks. © 2013 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
