Summary/Abstract: The emphasis on the hybrid character in the aggressive behavior of the state and non-state actors determines the increasing complexity degree of the emerging security threats. The evolutions recorded in recent security conflicts and crises indicate the aggressors’ tendency to carry out hostile actions simultaneously, on multiple operational levels, against the vulnerabilities identified in their targets. In this context, strengthening national resilience can be a viable option to respond against a hybrid spectrum of threats. The present paper summarizes the trends that determine the hybrid behavior in the global and regional security environment, the essential attributes of hybrid threats, as well as the dimensions of strengthening national resilience to these types of actions.
