Description

After cyberspace built its own individual image and after the opinions that this new space has potential to be a war domain, the question about opportunities for undertaking hybrid warfare in it is gaining relevance. The present study is looking for the characteristics of this type of hybrid warfare and their relations with technological sovereignty in the field of national security. This construction defines cyberspace as the object and the hybrid warfare as the subject of this study. The aim of the research is to explain the vectors of warfare in the framework of hybrid challenges that stand before states, as well as to make visible the difference in the methods of hybrid warfare. Through a multidisciplinary analysis discovered, described and arranged are different approaches, with which developed countries like China, the USA, Russia and the United Kingdom react against challenges, such as the hardware and software dependency on the cyberspace in the context of politics, economics and defense.
