Cyberterrorism





Cyber terrorism is the act of hacking into government computer systems, but under the Patriot Act also extends to hacking into and damaging any networked computer. It is punishable by up to twenty years in prison.
there are two strategies that can be used in order to prevent attacks.

1.  Build Strong Firewalls: A good firewall system can protect networks . These personal firewalls provide a great deal of protection for mobile users or users who do not operate their systems behind an adequate corporate firewall system.

2.  Enact and enforce strong policy: Staff members with access to or control over critical information should undergo rigorous background checks and should comply with strong security policy.
