Summary/Abstract: In the first two decades of the third millennium, there were fundamental changes in the global and regional security environment. At the same time, there was a transformation of traditional security threats. They have become multidimensional, multi-layered and, in the complex conditions of our society’s existence, have acquired a hybrid character in recent years. They are related to the use of a wide range of different means, such as propaganda, disinformation, hoaxes, cyber-attacks, organized crime, economic, political, and social pressure, terrorism, etc. All of them lead to the undermining of democratic foundations and the destabilization of the political, economic, and social elements of our society. Therefore, the author in this paper, using relevant methods of scientific research, deals with the issue of hybrid threats and the imperative need to effectively adopt measures aimed at their elimination, with a focus on the Slovak Republic experience
