CRI 383 - Cyberterrorism (3 cr.)

This course deals with one of the most critical and less-known crimes in this century: Cyberterrorism. This course takes cyberterrorism from a broader and more theoretical perspective rather than practical and technical. In other words, this course is not about the technical use of computers and Internet in terms of cyberterrorism. Rather, it focuses more on current terrorist organizations’ use of IT technologies in cyber space for terrorist goals and purposes (such as propaganda, recruitment, and radicalization). Some major cases of cyberterrorism (i.e., Stuxnet) are covered. Finally, counter-cyberterrorism strategies are also discussed in this course.
