It has long been predicted that wars would become hybrid, fought in multiple fronts at the same time, mixing conventional and irregular warfare with subversion, disinformation, and cyber-warfare. Following Russia’s invasion, Ukraine is facing constant cyber-attacks against its critical infrastructure. Viktor Zhora, deputy chairman of the State Service of Special Communications of Ukraine stated in early March 2022:
“These two wars [we are fighting] are part of this hybrid war. This is happening for the first time in history, and I believe that cyber-war can only be ended with the end of conventional war”, BBC, Ukraine says it is fighting first 'hybrid war'1.
With the advent of a threat model where the malicious acts stop being covert, and disruption is the key objective rather than blackmail, how can Europe’s critical healthcare infrastructure prepare and fortify itself against attacks of known origin and intent and stop them in their tracks? How can the process be sped up?
