ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book argues the threat from cyber terrorism is real and present and so this is an area that requires deeper discussion and critique from academics, the security and law enforcement agencies and governments. However, the terminology of what cyber terrorism is has remained problematic. The authors take the view that there are many forms of cyber hate, cyber threat and cyber terrorism and support the adoption of such a wide spectrum approach to defining cyber terrorism akin to that proposed by Weimann terrorist's use of computers as a facilitator of their activities, whether for propaganda, recruitment, defaming communication or other purposes'. International agreement on the definition of cyber terrorism is needed as a precursor to developing meaningful, complete and holistic legislation protocols and agreements for dealing with this global phenomenon.
