A destructive cyberattack on Poland’s energy infrastructure was more than another cyber incident. It was a warning of how state-aligned operations are evolving across Europe.
Cyberattacks, disinformation, economic pressure, AI and autonomous systems are increasingly being combined to create strategic impact without crossing the threshold of conventional war. At the same time, capabilities once reserved for major powers are becoming accessible to smaller states and non-state actors.
What yesterday’s cyber operations tell us about tomorrow is clear: the real challenge is no longer preventing every attack, but building resilience for a world in which disruption is continuous.
