About this report
Information superiority and counter-hybrid operations have emerged as decisive components of contemporary defence and security strategy within the Euro-Atlantic space. In recent years, adversaries have intensified the use of non-conventional tools to undermine democratic institutions, manipulate public opinion, and disrupt critical infrastructure.
These activities include disinformation campaigns, cyber intrusions, covert influence operations, and hybrid interference designed to blur the distinction between peace and conflict.
