Abstract
The purpose of the research is information terrorism as a 
threat to the global security system of the 21st century. The 
problem of combating information terrorism requires the 
analysis of the structure of terrorism itself as a phenomenon that 
has come a long way of evolution from lone suicide bombers, 
to huge terrorist organizations that commit destructive acts 
and cause the death of a large number of people, also using the 
dissemination of information to intimidate a signicant number of people. 
The methodological basis of the research is presented as comparative-legal 
and systematic analysis, formal-legal method, method of interpretation, 
hermeneutic method, as well as methods of analysis and synthesis. It is 
concluded that, one of the main threats to information security is presented 
by  computer  terrorism  as  a  form  of  destructive  inuence  aimed  at 
manipulating or intimidating the population or causing harm to the society, 
the state or individuals with the use of information technologies and with 
the purpose of forcing the authorities, an international organization, a 
natural or legal person (group of persons) to commit a certain action (or 
refrain from committing it).
