The use of cyberspace in the context of hybrid warfare

Abstract

Multipolarity and the change of the geopolitical map of the world, as well as the strengthening of the military capabilities of individual states, have influenced the limitation of the implementation of the military factor in carrying out the set goals of foreign policy by states as subjects of international relations. Such a situation in the international community has led to the fact that achieving interests is not primarily carried out by the use of armed force. In the modern world, the military option of solving a problem becomes 'less and less attractive', and sometimes too risky. Certain states use other, unconventional ways (such as hybrid warfare) to achieve their own objectives and interests. Activities in cyberspace in the context of hybrid warfare are important.
