“…These structures significantly influence the world and national public consciousness of countries that have become the object of an information attack. These are as follows: means of mass communication: radio broadcasting, cable, satellite television and radio, mobile video, audio and Internet communications, multimedia social networks, websites, printed and electronic newspapers, magazines and books; religious, cultural, trade union, environmental, human rights, journalistic and other public organizations; diplomatic structures (Jacuch, 2022), (Nilsson et al, 2021).…”

Taking into account the tendencies of democratization and informatization of all sectors of the economy and spheres of public administration, and, accordingly, the increase in information risks, the vast majority of countries in the world today go through a series of stages of ensuring information security. Despite the legislatively established powers of the relevant state authorities and local self-government in this area, the issues of defining their competence and effective interaction are real and effective guarantees of preventing a variety of information threats to national security as in this case effective and timely ways of eliminating existing dangers are provided. Given that large-scale invasions and hybrid wars can cause catastrophic harm and undermine public confidence in the government, the state must make quick decisions. Consequently, establishing an effective mechanism for ensuring information security has become more relevant than ever nowadays. The purpose of the academic paper is to clarify the theoretical fundamentals, as well as the components, directions and other critical practical aspects of the process of ensuring the state’s information security under conditions of hybrid warfare. Methodology. In the course of the research, abstraction, idealization, system-structural, comparative, logical-linguistic methods, analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction were used to process scientific information on issues of the state’s information security. Results. Based on the research results, the features of the process of ensuring the state’s information security in a hybrid war were studied and certain practical aspects of this issue were clarified.

“…(Prunckun, 2019) William Daugherty write that deception is closely related to propaganda and consists of activities that aim to confront a specific decision maker with a false reality or to ‘mislead an enemy by manipulating, distorting, or falsifying evidence to induce a mistaken perception’ (Daugherty, 2006: 79). Propaganda as a tool for hybrid warfare targets anybody willing to listen and not necessarily combatants (Nilsson et al, 2021: 1). This indiscriminate tool of subversion is enabled by cyber technologies to gain and sustain global reach within the rubric of information warfare.…”

“…Such an approach aims to 'disrupt, undermine or damage the target's political system and cohesion through a combination of violence, control, subversion, manipulation and dissemination of (mis)information'. (Nilsson et al, 2021). Hence the characterisation of increasing complexity through ambiguity (Paphiti & Bachmann, 2016).…”

Misinformation, disinformation and mal information are part of the information disorder construct, dominating the information warfare domain. These are key enablers associated with grey zone operations, and an integral part of current adversaries' and competitors' hybrid warfare tool kit. Disinformation, in combination with influence operations, also plays an important role within the concept of hybrid warfare; both from a threat–and own resilience perspective. This article reflects on these information warfare tools and their application by Russia in the current Russo‐Ukraine war, offering potentially considerable force multipliers in the information domain for the Russian aggressor. Hybrid warfare and associated threats, specifically focusing on aspects of information warfare, disinformation, deception (typically within the context of political activity or warfare so commonly associated with Russian active measures) and as part of an adversary's grey zone operations approach are all discussed raising awareness towards building resilience by means of a comprehensive approach to counter such threats to national security.
