Furthermore, the effects of adequate conceptualization of ISI cyber intelligence within the scope of counterterrorism and intelligence activities are evaluated. Secondly, after the current situation of cyber intelligence is illustrated by applications and measured with the specified parameters in the fight against terrorism (accuracy, accuracy and continuity), its contribution to the final situation (force multiplier, cost-effective counterterrorism and hard fight) is measured. Finally, the parameters are identified during the examination of the current situation are sought to answer the question of the DAESH's capacity within its input to the states of cyber intelligence.
