Cyberterrorism as a modern security threat: challenges and counter-measures

Abstract

This paper examines cyberterrorism as a challenge to international security. Its features, hybrid forms, and counteraction mechanisms within the SCO, the UN, and Interpol are analyzed. The methodological basis of the study is based on comparative legal and institutional analysis, as well as analysis of specific precedents, which allows us to trace the evolution of the threat and the response of the international community. Special attention is paid to the role of artificial intelligence and the need to maintain a balance between security and human rights. The study concludes that cyberterrorism has gone beyond the traditional understanding of terrorism in cyberspace. To increase efficiency, it is proposed to develop the integration of countries' security systems, create joint training centers and share experiences in the fight against cybercrime.
