Hybrid warfare is increasingly shaping the risk landscape for organisations and governments alike. Blending cyber operations, information campaigns, economic pressure, and physical disruption, these tactics often operate below the threshold of conventional conflict while creating significant operational impact.
This session examines how hybrid warfare relates to asymmetric operations and grey-zone activity, and what resilience professionals should look for when assessing exposure. Drawing on examples from Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, it explores how different actors—including state and non-state groups—approach hybrid operations and the types of assets most commonly targeted.
Through practical insights and field experience, the session also considers how organisations can strengthen resilience across operational, human, and societal dimensions in an increasingly complex threat environment.
Learning Outcomes
Participants will learn how to:
- Understand the characteristics of hybrid warfare and how it relates to asymmetric and grey-zone operations.
- Identify early indicators of hybrid threats affecting infrastructure, supply chains, and organisational operations.
- Recognise the range of assets commonly targeted, from logistics hubs and critical infrastructure to information environments and personnel.
- Apply practical approaches to strengthen organisational resilience in rapidly evolving geopolitical conditions.
Practical Takeaways
- A framework for recognising and assessing hybrid threat activity
- Case-based insights from Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia
- Practical tools used in real-world resilience and risk environments
- Lessons learned from operational experience—what works, what does not, and why adaptability matters
We look forward to welcoming you!
