사이버테러 법제 현황과 대응방안

Cyber Terror Legislation status and Countermeasures

The first cyber terrorism was only to the extent that a specific individual or organization hacked the network of the relevant organization to take economic advantage or pursue self-disclosure. However, with the recent development of ICT technology and Internet of things, the risk of cyber terrorism is being amplified as the whole social infrastructure is relying on the network, and the risk is ongoing. In Korea, cyber terrorism, which is estimated to be North Korea s behavior since 2008, has increased sharply, and cyber terror attacks against the state infrastructure have been continuing. Moreover, the recent Internet environment has attracted not only the North Korean followers but also the political propaganda of the international terrorist crime organization. Because of the nature of cyberspace, the proportion of cyber terrorism among various security threats is becoming a serious risk factor in the dangerous society. Therefore, I will examine the concept, type, and characteristics of cyber terrorism as a security factor and examine the legal system and implications of major countries. Based on this, I will present the necessity of cyber terrorism prevention law and the direction of criminal policy in Korea.
