Asymmetric warfare: how to respond to hybrid threats

The 21st century will be known as the century of changing battlefields. Hybrid warfare (propaganda, disinformation, etc.) and asymmetric warfare (simply put, warfare between states and non-governmental organizations) emerged in the last century, so there's nothing new here. 

However, the evolution of technology (development and miniaturization of components, lower manufacturing costs) and information technology (Internet, smart phones, etc.), as well as the proliferation of media (social networks, "news" channels, etc.) have provided belligerents with new "tools" and new arenas in which to fight. This new theater of operations takes place in cyberspace (cyberwarfare).

In this article, written by Jérôme Clech, the author explains this new theater of operations that our planet is experiencing. The author also provides a concise but detailed explanation of the countermeasures taken by governments.
