and maybe the current situation worldwide might appear as tough, but if it is made a look back it could
be feasible to understand those brave men and women who has built up the world and made it as it is
today no matter if the majority of their days have not been shiny at all.
In the modern time, a terrorism is escalating nearly everywhere in the world either being biological, high-
tech or physical by its nature it is going to show a tendency to become the real nightmare to the
humankind of nowadays, so far. In comparation with the past, the ongoing terror has kept dealing with
more or less same rules, but with an outstandingly better technological background as a technological
development is a true engine of the today’s progress, as well as current human’s activities. The terrorism
is something that has evolved as the entire civilization and it deeply takes advantages of the emerging
technical systems bringing with itself all the concerns and better saying, challenges of the new historical
chapter. As it is well known, the terrorist organizations at present can plan their actions with a high
precision as the technological landscape lets them do so, but on the other hand, anyone dealing with the
high-tech environment must leave a trace and in such a sense, there is a good portion of the confidence
to authorities those threats will be uncovered, located and caught sooner or later and today many will talk
with a full assurance that no matter what the bad actors do the good guys will get that and come to bring
them to the justice. In other words, that’s how the modern world has progressed and that’s how brilliantly
the good officers and their cooperators can tackle anything appearing within a field of the security. Indeed,
it’s not easy at all preparing a terror attack and the other operations and the majority of those plans get
accomplished, because the terror actors know a lot about the cutting-edge technologies as they cope
with an advanced user experience skill, as well as with some hardware design and software coding
capacities making them a truly clever predators which instinct can support them in avoiding all the traps
and obstacles the experienced hunters could apply in order to get them. In other words, it’s all about an
accurate and timing information which can be obtained through many approaches and that’s why the ISIL
was spying on the critical US asset in order to gather some findings and consequently push them into an
entire analytical process which has offered them completely collected intelligence suggesting to their
strategists how to formulate a very dangerous strategy being resolved in both – tactical and operational
manner which gave them some sort of the awareness about what those who are working over their head
do and which details have remained unprotected opening them a chance to attack to the most critical,
but yet inadequately saved spots across the globe. That’s why the world has gotten to deal with an
asymmetric warfare and that’s why the minority could threaten the majority causing truly severe impacts
to the world as it is well known nowadays.
The main challenge with the terrorism of today is an awareness as those who are in an everyday search
for a terror grid need to adjust their approaches to their mission coping with a great situational awareness
in order to uncover the threat and make some serious and far reaching geostrategic predictions always
getting in mind the troubles can come, but literally not from nowhere as there must exist some source
and once those origins are identified it can be possible to make some grouping that can put the authorities
and their investigations getting on the right track. Apparently, it’s not handy at all resolving such cases
and it seems the security undoubtedly needs a multidisciplinary and, say, more scientific approach in
tackling crime as it is known today. The existing trends and tendencies in criminology suggest that the
ongoing criminalities can be resolved in a less time-consuming and better cost-effective fashion as those
combating any area of the criminality relying on a plenty of the innovations within a defense can make a
significant step froward in order to smash the majority of the transnational crime and terrorist
organizations as it is well known that the transnational organized crime is the biggest sponsor to a
