Prediction of terrorism pattern accompanied by cyber-terrorism and the development direction of corresponding legal systems

As the information and communication system has become an essential element for national operation and people's lives, and the dependence on information and communication systems such as national infrastructure systems and facilities increases, cyber terrorism is rapidly emerging as a serious threat to national security in peacetime. As terrorist groups' access to cyber-attack assets improves, the traditional form of terrorism is also expected to change to a form combined with cyber-terrorism. Nevertheless, from a national security point of view, Korea lacks a legal system to prepare for and respond to cyber terrorism. In this paper, based on the development process of the modern military operation concept, we predict the changes in the form of terrorism, analyze the restrictions on the national response to cyber-terrorism based on the current legal system, and propose the development directions.
