网络恐怖主义的界定、解读与应对

The Definition,Understandings and Responses of Cyberterrorism

网络恐怖主义是网络空间安全的一项重要议题.由于网络空间与恐怖主义的结合,网络恐怖主义的概念边界很难界定.从目前来看,针对网络空间的恐怖袭击仍然是潜在的威胁,恐怖组织利用网络空间发动的传统恐怖活动更具现实威胁;考虑到信息技术的普及,数字经济时代的恐怖活动都可以归入网络恐怖主义的范畴.打击网络恐怖主义不仅要充分利用信息技术手段以牙还牙,还应该从恐怖活动的现实数据出发,灵活制定相应的应对机制或机制组合.

Cyberterrorism is a major issue of cyber security. However, due to the combination of cyberspace and terrorism, cyberterrorism is also a controversial term. It covers not only terrorism targeting cyberspace but also usage of cyberspace for terrorist activities; currently, the former is still not a real threat while the latter is quite common, and most of the terrorist activities now in the digital age can be grouped into the second category. To counter cyberterrorism, IT and cyberspace can also be used to spy on and gain advantage over terrorist activities, while the real data of terrorist activities can be employed to make adaptive responses.
