THE CYBERSPACE PROTECTION AGAINST TERRORISM
THE CYBERSPACE PROTECTION AGAINST TERRORISM

Summary/Abstract: Terrorist war and war against terrorism are the perfect types of asymmetric warfare affecting the entire planet. Each of them - if we accept that they are really wars, and nothing else, for instance, clashes in the area of crime, of revenge, fierce battles for power and influence, etc. - are continuous wars, with unpredictable deployment, from large-scale actions, as, for example, the bombing of Afghanistan, considered a terrorist base, to Iraqi guerrillas or suicide actions of Palestinians and Islamic fundamentalists, with multiple effects on space, the entire space in all its dimensions (geophysical, climate, land, sea, air, cosmic, virtual and cognitive). Terrorist war and war against terrorism will certainly require, more and more pressingly, new forces, new means and new types of actions, new spaces and new engagement systems. Some will lead inevitably to the fragmentation of large entities and the major strategic actions, others, on the contrary, will amplify and maybe will unify them. Hence, a highly topical question: will the world succeed to protect itself against the attrition war imposed by terrorism, anti-terrorism and counter-terrorism?
