Online: The Other Side of Terrorism

No Physical Barrier is Capable of Restricting the Robust, Influential, and Dangerous Online Presence of Terrorist Groups like ISIS

Terrorism remains one of the major physical security threats of our time. Since 9/11, governments have worked hard to combat this threat by enacting robust security measures ranging from targeting terrorists where they plot in safe havens to providing law enforcement with tools and policies to discover and disrupt terrorist activity. However, ever since al-Qaida successfully began availing itself of the Internet in the late 1990s, terrorist groups have continued to utilize the Internet to facilitate everything from spreading propaganda and recruiting followers to inciting violence and launching attacks.
