In the interconnected world of the 21st century, the nature of conflict and competition has
evolved beyond traditional military confrontations. Hybrid threats, characterized by the blending of
conventional and unconventional tactics, pose a significant challenge to nations, organizations, and
individuals. This paper delves into the complex landscape of hybrid threats, focusing on the increasing role
of digital attack vectors. By analyzing recent case studies and emerging trends, we aim to provide a
comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted nature of hybrid warfare in the digital age. Furthermore,
we explore potential mitigation strategies to enhance resilience against these evolving threats.
