Analysis of hybrid risks in the Colombian territory

Abstract

Hybrid threats, which combine conventional and unconventional tactics, have represented a significant challenge for security in Colombia. The objective of the study was aimed at analyzing and proposing operational and technological strategies to counter hybrid threats. A combined methodology was used, which included a literature review, qualitative and quantitative data analysis, and the application of Saaty's AHP method, where doctrinal, operational, and technological challenges were evaluated. The study revealed that media instrumentalization has been fundamental to consolidate the territorial control of these groups. Critical challenges were identified in the technological field. The conclusions emphasized the priority of developing advanced technological capabilities and coordinated strategies to confront hybrid threats
