About this report
This analysis frames the protection of undersea cables and offshore pipelines as a strategic problem of situational awareness, governance, and industrial readiness in hybrid conflict. It treats seabed infrastructure not as a passive asset, but as a contested domain where political signalling, economic coercion and military deterrence intersect.
The focus is on how repeated disruptions have altered the strategic perception of cables, forcing governments and alliances to reclassify them as critical security assets whose vulnerability can affect communications, energy flows and crisis management.
