The Concept of Security and Hybrid Threats

In theoretical terms, there is no single definition of the concept of security. The concept of security is shaped by values, threats, challenges and risks that appear in different forms and are defined in different contexts. Hence, we can talk about national security, social security, health security, society security, occupational security, traffic security, etc. Modern globalisation has caused an increase in security threats and risks. This process continuously produces a series of economic and social inequalities for most of the world’s population, but also various forms of geopolitical competition, exploitation of countries and discrimination of people. Within the framework of the paper, the author will define the term “Concept of Security” and analyse the terms “asymmetric threats”, “hybrid threats” and “building resistance”. In the final part of the paper, the author states the following conclusions: Globalisation is the driver and creator of new modified risks; therefore, it is difficult to draw a line of separation between threats and security risks. Modern modified risks are not selective – on the contrary, they affect all countries and social classes and have global consequences. The new types of threats are multiplied and transnational and require a wide range of instruments to deal with them.
