%X Cyberterrorism
poses a significant threat to the national security of the United<span> States of America (USA), with critical
infrastructure, such as commercial facilities, dams, emergency services, food
and agriculture, healthcare and public he</span>alth, and transportation
systems virtually at risk. Consequently, this is due primarily to the country</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\">กฏ</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\">s heavy dependence on
computer networks. With both domestic and international terrorists increasingly
targeting any vulnerabilities in computer systems and networks, information
sharing among security agencies has become critical. Cyberterrorism can be
regarded as the purest form of information warfare. This literature review
examines cyberterroris<span>m and strategic
communications, focusing on domestic cyberterrorism. Notabl</span>e themes
include the meaning of cyberterrorism, how cyberterrorism differs from cybercrime,
and the threat posed by cyberterrorism to the USA. Prevention and deterrence of
cyberterrorism through information sharing and legislation are also key themes.
Finally, gaps in knowledge are identified, and questions warranting additional
research are outlined.
