Summary/Abstract: NATO faces a wide range of multidirectional and multitargeted military and non-military security risks, terrorist actions being surprising, extremely violent and often unpredictable: assassinations, abductions, firings, attacks with conventional ammunition or improvised explosive devices, suicide bombings, hijackings, cyber attacks, attack and occupation by force of strategic objectives, sabotages, etc. The use of asymmetric methods of combat is not limited to official war zones, in recent years military or public persons of NATO states becoming frequently targets. Regardless the reasons for which these actions take place, hybrid threats must find echo not only in a defense strategy, but also in prevention and countermeasures. NATO must adapt continuously to respond promptly to the new challenges of terrorism expansion, which does not recognize or consider state boundaries, national laws or public interest. Indiferent de motivele pentru care au loc aceste acțiuni, amenințările hibride nu trebuie să își găsească ecou doar printr-o strategie de apărare, ci și de prevenire și de contracarare. NATO trebuie să se adapteze continuu pentru a răspunde cu promptitudine noilor provocări ale expansiunii teroriste, ce nu recunoaște și nu ia în considerare granițele statale, legislațiile naționale sau interesul public.
