Abstract
Knowledge society is characterized by a hyper-dynamic knowledge, continuously subject to review and discussion, shared, cross-media-based, with multiple reference points and an overload of information. What types of information are at risk? So many, such as power delivery, communications, aviation, financial services, medical records, criminal records, business plans. The threat posed to nations from terrorists is no longer just physical but also expands to our digital world. The benefits of the information age are numerous, but nascent threats like transnational cyber terrorism and information warfare exist alongside the positive aspects of globalization. A new challenge has emerged for free societies: democracies must find ways to strike a balance between allowing internet freedom on one hand and maintaining adequate early warning and monitoring systems on the other. These systems, combined with expanded cybersecurity cooperation across borders, will be integral in detecting suspicious digital activities and countering attempted acts of cyber warfare and cyber terrorism.
