From a methodological perspective, we could warn in four different ways. For to assess there is a threat, warning scenarios are composed for which critical indicators are developed. Subsequently, these critical indicators are monitored. It seems suited for a broad range of issues where access to information is limited. For to assess there is no threat, a barrier model can be constructed, focusing on critical chains of the process or production to be interrupted. It will lead to interventions for which politics must be willing to bear the costs. For to refute there is a threat, the adversaries modus operandi (AMO) are broken into visible activities during the preparation and execution of the hostile act. It is monitored though suspicious indicators, in which it is tried to refute that these indicators belong to a certain AMO. It seems suited to protect people and objects – like airports. For to refute there is no threat, the threat is broken down into its composing variables. For each variable, assumptions are formulated as if there is no threat. Subsequently, it is tried to falsify these assumptions. It seems suited for a wide range of issues, and can include both events and drivers in its analysis.

The swift digitization and transformation of contemporary societies have created an unusual security landscape, exerting its influence across every facet of human, societal, economic, and political life. Technology stands as a pivotal variable in the dynamic evolution of terrorism. Cyberspace has emerged as a fertile domain for the amplification and continuation of terrorist activities, representing a profound “transformation” at the operational level over recent decades. Terrorists have adeptly seized upon the potential of cyberspace, strategically imitating successful tactics employed by like-minded, assimilating lessons from past mistakes, and adapting to exigencies of both the present and future. The extensive deployment of information communication and technologies (ICTs) has substantially facilitated terrorists’ activities in a multitude of ways. This includes cost reduction, the generation of operational efficiencies, broader access to novel target demographics, the provision of anonymity, heightened security measures, the dissolution of organizational barriers, and the amplification of the scope and reach of their actions. The full spectrum of cyber activities conducted by terrorists can be comprehensively encapsulated within a model titled the “Digital Jihad”. This paper intends to apply this model in the context of examining the activities and strategies of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).","PeriodicalId":475234,"journal":{"name":"National security and the future","volume":" 44","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138963331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
