Abstract
Information technology has an increasingly large role in day-to-day life of citizens in many parts of the world. Technologies such as smartphones, electronic identification, distributed controls, sensors and actuators, etc. (i.e., internet of things) have promoted efficiencies and conveniences for citizens, governments, and organizations. National critical infrastructures face a variety of threats including kinetic assaults from adversaries and natural hazards and accidents as well as information disruption such as hacking of control or support systems, misinformation, and others. Furthermore, the reliance on electronic information infrastructure and the connectedness of various sectors of critical infrastructure (electricity, communications, information, financial and government services, etc.) result in new vulnerabilities that hybrid warfare can exploit. Hybrid threats are characterized by the European Centre of Excellence for Countering Hybrid Threats by coordinated and synchronized action targeting the vulnerabilities of states and organizations through various means, including but not limited to political, economic, military, and information (I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
