Imagine that you are a leader within the Department of Homeland Security. You are aware of a trend in cyberterrorism and recruitment by terrorist groups such as ISIS. The data presented has shown that the number of people recruited through online communications has grown significantly.

First, review the following articles:

• Obama Says Cyberterrorism Is Country's Biggest Threat, U.S. Government Assembles "Cyber Warriors"
• Is Cyber-Terrorism the New Normal?

Then prepare a journal assignment that thoroughly addresses the following questions:

• How would you identify the pattern described above?
• How would you use the data identified in the patterns/trends to support future initiatives to combat or alter those trends?

For additional details, please refer to the Module Four Journal Guidelines and Rubric PDF document.
