Summary/Abstract: Nowadays, the greatest challenges to the nations, their institutions,population and private companies are those that are geared towards exploiting their vulnerabilities. At both NATO and EU level, state and non-state actors generate a series of visible and undercover activities that can be referred to as hybrid threats. This article analyses the ongoing process and methods to counter hybrid threats at European level. Since Russia’s aggression against Ukraine in 2014, we have learned that there is no cutting edge system or a one-size-fits-all solution we can just buy to reduce these threats.Combating hybrid threats must be a continuous and dynamic activity that can predict the signs indicating the preparation and conduct of hostile hybrid actions in order to timely employ proper means and tools.
