The subject of this paper is contemporary forms of hybrid threats and the response of security structures to them. In the first part of the paper, the author conceptually defines hybrid threats, analyzing their basic characteristics, mechanisms of emergence and action. This approach is especially important because hybrid warfare is not a new form of warfare, but rather a way of waging war with new means. In the second part of the paper, it is pointed out the possible responses of security services to modern forms of security threats. Hybrid warfare is a mechanism by which large and powerful states pursue their geopolitical interests. In order to preserve their statehood, sovereignty and statehood, small states must develop a sophisticated system of response to all modern hybrid threats. Without the proper scientific knowledge, this process is not possible. The aim of this paper is to point out the importance and connection of scientific knowledge and modern responses to hybrid security threats in the process of creating a truly effective security system.
