Greyzone Threat Resilience
Building resilience against hybrid warfare, disinformation, and state-linked influence operations.
Greyzone attacks by hostile states represent one of the most complex and serious threats facing the UK and its partners today. These ambiguous, deniable tactics — from cyber intrusions and disinformation campaigns to economic coercion and covert operations — are designed to destabilise and weaken without triggering open conflict.
Operating below the threshold of war, Greyzone activity is deliberately hard to detect, attribute and counter — which is precisely why it works. CDEC’s Greyzone Threat Resilience service helps organisations understand their vulnerabilities, recognise early indicators of influence or intrusion, and build practical resilience through intelligence, training, and countermeasures.
This service integrates tightly with Threat Intelligence & Resilience, Cyber Security Advisory and OSINT Investigations to deliver a unified understanding of hybrid threats — from online manipulation to physical infiltration.
What Makes Us Different
Strategic Context + Operational Detail
We translate abstract state behaviours into specific, actionable risks — showing you how hybrid tactics manifest within your sector, location, and operational environment.Multi-Domain Insight
We assess vulnerabilities across cyber, information, economic and physical domains, because real Greyzone campaigns blend multiple methods — from phishing and lobbying to sabotage and surveillance.Early Detection Focus
We equip teams with the ability to recognise weak signals — subtle shifts in narrative, digital anomalies, or behavioural patterns that precede escalation.Practical & Defensible Measures
We don’t just define the problem — we implement realistic, lawful and evidence-backed countermeasures that align with UK regulatory frameworks and organisational ethics.
Many clients pair this service with Digital Forensics & Data Recovery and Physical, Electronic & Aerial Surveillance to ensure hybrid threats are addressed both online and on the ground.
