Terrorism Threat to Critical Infrastructure

Abstract

This article is intended to study the military research project under the program Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) which is a network of the higher office of research project with the main purpose of connecting computers together and generate communications as well as sending and receiving information through a secure measure by using the TCP/IP Packet Switching: Packet between computers and Non-state Actor which are namely: terrorist organizations that are using the network signal for their benefits and development.  They will incorporate these technologies along with the ideals to be suited for their organization and also to prove Critical Information Infrastructure: CII, when attacked will it cause a physical and psychological crisis, as well as affect other important basic infrastructures also?  

                   After the research it was concluded that since the Cold War, terrorist organizations have chosen unconventional warfare as an attack method along with Guerrilla Warfare that is aimed at attacking vulnerabilities that have a low security protection measures or targets that are vulnerable towards a direct or indirect attack.  Terrorist organizations such as ISIS, Hamas and Al Qaeda still continue to uses technology frequencies to support their mission and expand the battlefield into digital domain in producing printed and live broadcast propaganda through the Internet.  Moreover, it was determined that Critical Infrastructure: (CI) was a popular target for cyber attacks worldwide and it is projected that the situation will increase in magnitude for the future.  Attacks will be carried out through a variety of actors and after careful consideration, all CI are implemented through the Critical Infrastructure: (CII), which is an indication that CII is the Center off gravity for the digital war on terrorism, where if it is seized or temporarily obstructed will have an effect on the functioning of the whole basic infrastructure also.
