Hybrid threats can be carried out across various domains, including cyber and space. These attacks can range from cybercrime, propaganda, and espionage to targeting space-based navigation and communications systems, potentially causing cascading effects on other domains, such as the economy and infrastructure.
Ongoing technological advancements, including the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum technology, create new opportunities for both hybrid threat actors and efforts to counter hybrid threats.
