L’attacco cibernetico nell’era della guerra ibrida

Hybrid warfare poses a new threat to international security. Armed forces and conventional tactics are no longer sufficient in a conflict. Today, thanks to technological development, states have new tools – disinformation, propaganda and critical infrastructure attacks – and new domains – cyberspace – at their disposal to exploit adversary’s vulnerabilities. In academic circles, attempts have been made to capture the complexity of these new conflicts through the concept of “hybrid warfare”. However, there is still no universally accepted definition of hybrid warfare, making complicated the possible response of policy makers and international organizations.
