Hybrid threats and their impact on European security

Abstract

Educating people, including in the fight against hybrid threats, is the key. Officials and decision-makers, as well as businesses, senior executives and the public who are aware of and understand the threats, are our strengths and improve our resilience to hybrid threats. Although we know what hybrid threats are, and hopefully will recognize them when they arise, there is a need for a common knowledge-based response to hybrid threats.

The mentioned fact was also one of the reasons why Internal Security Institute of the Estonian Academy of Security Sciences, in a close cooperation with the Intelligence College in Europe, held a web-based seminar on hybrid threats and their impact on European security in Tallinn, Estonia, on 16–17 June 2021.
