Cíle předmětu
The course aims to explore the emergence of the concept of hybrid warfare, its evolution through historical perspective, and its characteristic features. In the first part of the course, we will focus on information warfare and specifically also on propaganda. In the second part of the course, students will learn about current strategies, diffusion of battlespace and its expansion into cyberspace, which plays increasingly important part in conflicts today. This includes threats of cyber-espionage, sabotage and hacktivism, their associated actors and common attack vectors.
