Navigating hybrid threats : advanced security solutions for modern organizations

Abstract

PURPOSE: Hybrid threats can include a variety of activities, such as cyberattacks, disinformation campaigns, acts of sabotage, as well as military and paramilitary activities. They aim to destabilize, disorganize, and weaken organizations, both private and public. The goal of the article is to identify the impact of hybrid threats on the security of organizations.

DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: Effective security management in the era of hybrid threats requires continuous monitoring, analysis, and adaptation to changing reality. The research aimed to answer what the threat to the security of organizations posed by hybrid threats is. Obtaining answers to the above questions required the use of appropriate research methods. For the study, literature analysis and reliable Internet sources in the fields of management, economics, and security were used.

FINDINGS: Organizations need to be ready for action concerning security in advance, identifying potential threats and taking steps to mitigate them before they become a major concern. The ability to respond quickly to changing threats is also crucial. The implementation of innovative technological and procedural solutions is essential for effective safety management. It is important to integrate activities from various areas of the organization's operations, which will allow for the creation of a coherent security management system.

PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: In the era of increasing hybrid threats that destabilize information security, organizations must effectively manage their security by integrating various strategies and technologies. Security should be treated holistically, covering all aspects of the organization's operations. Only then can risks be effectively identified and managed. It is important to develop universal methods of dealing with hybrid attacks.
