In a connected world, the possibility of remote access to sensitive and critical systems is at a hands reach. Often, cyber terrorism is considered only as a threat to ICT infrastructure, services and devices, but if a cyber terrorism act is targeted at a hospital for example, the consequences quickly escalate beyond ICT field itself and encompass whole CBRNe field.
