This ratio is because the aggressor is trying to influence the cultural, legal, political and value foundations of society and the individual, his aim is to distort a person’s world with the help of the media. There are very important characteristics during the «hybrid warfare» such as information culture capacity for critical thinking, skills comparison and selection of information, search for sources of information and so on. Determined the main threats for the information and cultural security of our country. It is noted that the main threat to national security information – a threat to the impact on the other side of the country information infrastructure, information resources, society, consciousness, subconscious personality to impose the desired state of values, attitudes, interests and decisions in vital areas of public and state activities, manage their behavior and development in the desired direction for another party.
