Summary/Abstract: The obvious trends in the diversification and overlap between military and non-military, transnational, unconventional, asymmetric and hybrid threats, abundant nowadays in the security environment, determine the intensification of NATO and EU efforts to increase the resilience of member states through integrated, comprehensive approaches to managing different types of crises, including their extreme manifestations - wars. From this perspective, both NATO and EU core documents underline the interdependence between the allied general capacity of common defence and the resilience of their member states. For this reason, NATO and EU are acting in tandem by urging member states to adopt the necessary measures to protect critical infrastructures exposed to hybrid threats, which can occur simultaneously in peacetime in several areas - energy, transport, communications, finance and banking, cyber, space technologies, healthcare, education etc.
