CT (Counterterrorism)

Counterterrorism (CT) involves the strategies, tactics, and measures taken by governments and organizations to prevent, deter, and respond to terrorist acts. It includes intelligence gathering, surveillance, border security, and law enforcement efforts to identify and disrupt terrorist plots before they occur. CT also involves addressing the root causes of terrorism and working internationally to combat extremist networks. The goal is to protect public safety and maintain national security while respecting legal and human rights. Effective counterterrorism requires coordination across agencies, communities, and nations to adapt to evolving threats.
