Summary/Abstract: In the contemporary security landscape, hybrid threats represent a complex and multifaceted challenge, blending conventional military tactics with unconventional methods such as disinformation and cyber attacks. Through this article, we propose to identify and present the nature of hybrid threats, exploring their various forms and the way they undermine national security. GEOINT (Geospatial Intelligence) helps countering hybrid threats using geospatial data to provide critical insights and enhance situational awareness. This article examines how GEOINT techniques are employed to combat disinformation, highlighting the role of geospatial data in verifying information, tracking the spread of false narrative and supporting strategic responses.
