Abstract. The totality of modern geopolitical challenges and threats in the new information reality can be characterized as hybrid warfare, which includes a wide range of actions aimed at destruction of all spheres of social life of the rival state. Hybrid wars are now becoming the main instrument of geopolitical confrontation, which actualizes the search for counteraction to such threats. The widespread use of asymmetric crisis management has become an integral part of the practice of diplomacy, the basis for the effective implementation of the national security strategy of any sovereign state.

The methodological basis of the article is the methods and forms of scientific knowledge adopted in domestic science, such as system approaches, comparative and synthesis methods, methods of abstract logical evaluation, methods of detailing, groupings and generalizations, experts’ evaluations. The results: the reasons of the hybrid war were revealed, the specific features of crisis strategies were presented, the influence of the knowledge component on the competitiveness of the countries was proved, disruptive technologies on the competitiveness of the national economies were proved, the specific features of the disruptive technologies were presented, the effective asymmetric strategies were underlined.

Unsolved remain the problems concerning the determination of the crisis strategies in the process of formation of hybrid war and the impact of knowledge component.
