Session 1: Understanding Hybrid Warfare and How It Manifests

Join us for the launch of Resilience First’s Geostrategic Resilience Programme for 2026.

We are pleased to be joined by Justin Crump, Founder & CEO of Sibylline, who will provide an expert perspective on hybrid warfare, the evolving threat landscape, and the concept of operational sovereignty and why these issues are now critical for UK organisations.

The session will explore:

  • What hybrid warfare is and why it has become a preferred tool of state and non-state actors
  • The blurred boundaries between war, peace, and competition
  • Hybrid warfare as a whole-of-society challenge, including impacts on business
  • How hybrid activity can manifest across economic, informational, and societal domains
  • Why operational sovereignty is increasingly central to organisational resilience
