Hybrid Cyber Threats: Lithuanian Context

Abstract:

This academic paper conducts a comprehensive analysis of hybrid cyber threats within the Lithuanian context, focusing on the examination of national strategies formulated to address and mitigate these complex challenges. Hybrid cyber threats, characterized by the amalgamation of traditional cyber methods with elements of disinformation, psychological warfare, and geopolitical manipulation present unique challenges to national security. This study explores how Lithuania’s national strategies have evolved to counteract these multifaceted threats, offering insights into the effectiveness of current approaches, and identifying potential areas for improvement.

The research employs a comparative analysis of Lithuania’s historical and contemporary national cybersecurity strategies, examining their alignment with the evolving nature of hybrid cyber threats. By evaluating the integration of cybersecurity measures with broader national security policies, the study aims to uncover the strengths and weaknesses in Lithuania’s preparedness and response mechanisms.
