BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Mr. Day said that the agency had identified 11,000 cyber attacks in the country in 2014. It is "entirely feasible" that a terror group such as Islamic State might consider including cyber warfare in their arsenal, said Mr. Day.
