Can hybrid threats be deterred?

With an increasing challenge from hybrid threats, there is also more interest towards combining resilience-building with deterrence by punishment i.e. imposing costs on the adversaries.

Read our latest paper by brilliant Dr Rusinaitè.

[Hybrid CoE @HybridCoE]

How to deter hybrid threats?

New paper by Dr Viktorija Rusinaitė shares three key lessons learned:
🔹Adopt a whole-of-government approach.
🔹Make careful use of entanglement.
🔹Don’t let “mirror imaging” weaken strategy.
