How Cybersecurity Prevents Terrorism

The heightened use of the internet has also given rise to activities that negatively affect people and lives. Terrorism activities are on the rise as the internet is one such medium that keeps anonymity intact, and tracing them becomes a matter of question. 


However, with technology and its advancements, things have become easy. In more ways than one, Cybersecurity can help prevent terrorism, or at best, even identify the culprits that indulged in unethical activities using the internet. 




Government initiatives 


The first and foremost help comes from the government and their understanding of the importance of the matter. The government puts in the efforts and initiatives that keep the country safe from any terrorist activities. 




While the military and border forces are doing the utmost of their capabilities to keep the citizens safe, the terrorist attacks are also planned via the internet, and planning activities to prevent the same is equally important. Cybersecurity, a term at large, holds a simple meaning: secure the internet and make it a safe place. 


The 9/11 attacks on the Twin Towers were alarming and almost like a wake-up call that a lot can happen even from a distance. Therefore, the government launched a host of legislative activities to avoid and put a hard stop to such attacks. 


A significant number of sections and penal codes were put in place to identify the crimes that happen over the internet. Clearly stating sections and punishments for activities have given the government a clear direction on how to process. The law and legislation levied on cyberattacks and terrorism are as tough as are for the physical ones.
