Traditional approaches to deterrence remain in evidence today within the contemporary global security environment. However, what is less clear is how deterrence works in response to the emergent hybrid threats that exist primarily in the information environment. This evolving security challenge requires new thinking about deterrence. In particular, such challenges argue for strengthening societal resilience and deterrence through delegitimization – a process by which the chances of non-traditional opponents achieving political targets are diminished when the foundations of their political motivation - such as publicity, cohesion, or sympathy among the population - are delegitimized. In response to an increasing demand for a Whole-of Society (WoS) approach (multi-organizational, multi- disciplinary), how is societal resilience achieved and what capabilities are needed to develop WoS resilience.  This presentation will highlight Finnish and Australian efforts to develop and practice WoS resilience and offer comments on their potential implications for Canada.
