Adversaries such as China and Russia have employed hybrid warfare tactics to undermine NATO member states' security and stability through the employment of conventional and unconventional tactics, including malign influence campaigns, economic coercion, misinformation and disinformation operations, and cyber attacks. By identifying the threat landscape of hybrid warfare, this report evaluates the implications for NATO’s security, the unity of the alliance, and critical infrastructure. Furthermore, case studies of NATO's response to hybrid threats are presented to illustrate the alliance's current efforts to counter Russian and Chinese hybrid warfare tactics. These case studies illustrate the complexities and challenges of responding to hybrid threats and the importance of a comprehensive approach that combines military and non-military tools. Finally, the report provides policy recommendations on how NATO can enhance its ability to address the challenges of hybrid warfare. These recommendations focus on strengthening the alliance's resilience against hybrid threats, improving information sharing and coordination among member countries, and enhancing NATO's ability to deter and respond to hybrid threats.
