Undersea cables are critical for global communication and commerce, transmitting vast amounts of data across continents and connecting economies, governments, and individuals. Similarly, energy infrastructure, including pipelines and power transmission cables for offshore wind farms, is equally vital and vulnerable. These vital infrastructures face growing risks from sabotage, accidental damage, and targeted attacks, endangering the seamless flow of energy, information and trade in a connected world.

Protecting these cables requires real-time monitoring systems, predictive threat analysis, and advanced repair and recovery capabilities to minimize disruptions. Maritime technologies, including sea drones and underwater autonomous vehicles, can enhance surveillance and enable rapid responses to physical or hybrid threats, ensuring consistent oversight.

By integrating these technologies with strategies for threat deterrence and response, undersea cable systems can remain secure and resilient. Strengthening their protection is crucial for safeguarding global connectivity and ensuring the uninterrupted flow of data that underpins modern society.
