Information Warfare: An Analysis of the Threat of Cyberterrorism Towards the US Critical Infrastructure

Overview The purpose of this paper is to explore the possibility of a terrorist group launching an information warfare attack against the infrastructure and to answer the question: Is the US ready to defend against a cyber attack? This paper examines the current trends of terrorist groups and focuses on their information warfare capabilities to see if it is possible for a group like Hammas, Hezbolla, or al- Qaeda to commit to an all out information warfare attack aimed at crippling or destroying the US infrastructure. The paper also analyzes the current US posture towards cyber warfare and terrorism.
