Abstract
While a lot of studies focus on the contours of cybercrime and cyber terrorism as well as their effects in daily lives, less attention has been given to the use of ICT by terrorists. In fact, through the ebbs and flows of technology, the society of information seems to develop a particular vulnerability to the fear instilled by terrorism.

The authors, in this review chapter, discuss critically the cutting-edge role of technology in the struggle against terrorism.
