From defence to deterrence: The role of the military in ensuring subsea resilience

Submarine Networks EMEA 2026 - Day 2 @ 09:00

Geopolitics and the submarine cable industry

  • A growing number of governments now recognise subsea telecommunications cables as critical infrastructure, vital to national security, the economy and the delivery of public services. What should such a qualification mean for public-private cooperation around threat detection and incident response?  
  • Is intentional damage to subsea cables by States or State-backed actors really increasing as often reported by the media?  
  • In what way would the response to such threats differ from the kinds of threats the industry traditionally deals with?  
  • What are the opportunities of current geopolitical developments for the subsea cable industry? Are there evident winners and losers? 
  • From a corporate strategy perspective, how should the industry be thinking about future geopolitical risks?
