Hybrid threats to critical infrastructure in the European Union. Selected Hybrid CoE analyses

Summary/Abstract: The author of the article describes the progression of hybrid threats, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe, with a focus on Russian influence operations. By examining 6 key publications from the European Centre of Excellence for Countering Hybrid Threats (Hybrid CoE), the author identifies hybrid tactics, from disinformation and cyberattacks to maritime and kinetic threats. The research explores strategic competition, resilience-building, and legal frameworks necessary to counter challenges of these tactics. The findings highlight the need for continuous adaptation to emerging challenges, increased international cooperation, and proactive measures to mitigate the impact of hybrid operations on Western states. Understanding the evolution of these threats is important for strengthening national security, improving resilience, and developing effective counterstrategies.
