La ciberseguridad y el uso de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) por el terrorismo

Abstract

This study analyzes the benefits and virtues of ICTs in the international society and, above all, the use that different terrorist groups make of them, in order to promote and favour their objectives, generating new risks, challenges and threats such as cyberterrorism. In addition, the instruments of a political nature as well as regulations and State practice, including that  adopted within international organizations, are studied in order to meet this transnational challenge. In short, this study examines what elements, at international and national level, represent obstacles to cooperation, as well as the gaps that remain to be filled in order to approach the challenge of a peaceful, safe and free cyberspace.
