Description
Hybrid conflicts are characterized by multi-layered efforts to undermine the functioning of the State or polarize society.
This book presents results, recommendations and best practices from the NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) ""Critical Infrastructure Protection Against Hybrid Warfare Security Related Challenges"", held in Stockholm, Sweden, in May 2016. The main objective of this workshop was to help and support NATO in the field of hybrid conflicts by developing a set of tools to deter and defend against adversaries mounting a hybrid offensive. Addressing the current state of critical infrastructure protection (CIP) and the challenges evolving in the region due to non-traditional threats which often transcend national borders - such as cyber attacks, terrorism, and attacks on energy supply - the widely ranging group of international experts who convened for this workshop provided solutions from a number of perspectives to counter the new and emerging challenges affecting the security of modern infrastructure. Opportunities for public-private partnerships in NATO member and partner countries were also identified.
The book provides a highly topical resource which identifies common solutions for combating major hazards and challenges - namely cyber attacks, terrorist attacks on energy supply, man-made disasters, information warfare and maritime security risks - and will be of interest to all those striving to maintain stability and avoid adverse effects on the safety and well-being of society.
