About this report
Hybrid Threat Response Frameworks represent a concerted operational effort to counter complex “gray zone” aggression that targets a nation’s critical functions and societal cohesion without overt armed attack. This priority emerges from the recognition that state and non-state adversaries – prominently Russia and increasingly China – are using coordinated hybrid tactics to destabilise NATO and EU countries below the threshold of conventional war .
These tactics include cyber attacks on critical networks, disinformation campaigns to sway public opinion, covert operations and sabotage against energy grids or communication links, and economic coercion aimed at creating strategic dependencies .
