| description | The deep and widespread global crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic has directly or indirectly generated numerous and different phenomena and processes that have completely changed the perception and way of life and work and thus established a new context, radically changing the security configuration and landscape. At the same time, the current crisis has become the main accelerator of several important trends and transformations in the field of cybersecurity: first initiations, then support for the processes of privatization, militarization, and securitization of this area. In the strategic environment, two completely different, by their effects and mode of action, recent processes coincided, resulting in a fundamental asymmetry: increasing intensity, dynamics, and frequency of cyberattacks, while drastically reducing the operational capabilities of the state and other actors on the plan of their prevention and suppression. The main goal of the research is, first, to consider and then determine the global context that produces different and very complex interrelationships, interactions, conditionality between the spread of a pandemic on the one hand, and the expansion of hybrid threats, especially cybercrime, on the other forms, modalities, narratives, and goals. Due to the complexity, multidimensionality, and relevance of the problem-subject set, standard methodological tools were applied during the research, based on DESK methods. In the concluding section, the conversational meaning and hybrid nature of cyber threats emphasize the importance and need to innovate existing public policies and security agendas in creating a combined hybrid response with pronounced synergistic effects. |
