De la ținte la instrumente: relația complexă dintre infrastructurile critice și amenințările hibride
From Targets to Tools: the Complex Relationship between Critical Infrastructures and Hybrid Threats

Summary/Abstract: The complexity of the interaction between critical infrastructures and hybrid threats emerges from the specialized literature through a diversity of perspectives and approaches. This study investigates how the two concepts intersect, capturing hybrid manifestations that combine cyberattacks, disinformation campaigns, kinetic operations, economic coercion, and the exploitation of the gray areas of international law. In parallel, critical infrastructures are analyzed both as strategic targets and as instruments for propagating hybrid threats, being weaponized through the exploitation of sectoral and cross-sectoral vulnerabilities. The article’s conclusions emphasize the need to understand hybrid threats and critical infrastructures as interconnected realities, whose protection and resilience require a systemic and coordinated approach capable of responding to the complex challenges of contemporary security.
