Submarine cables form the backbone of the global internet, carrying over 95โ99% of international data traffic, enabling financial transactions, cloud services, and cross-border communications.
However, recent reports highlight growing concerns around subsea cable security, as geopolitical tensions, cyber risks, and physical threats increase the vulnerability of this critical digital infrastructure.
According to recent industry coverage, governments and telecom operators are strengthening efforts to monitor, protect, and secure ocean-floor communication networks amid rising risks from sabotage, espionage, and accidental damage caused by shipping and fishing activities. Subsea cable outages can disrupt large portions of internet connectivity and global financial systems, making resilience and redundancy a strategic priority.
At the same time, the expansion of hyperscale data centers, cloud computing, and AI workloads is accelerating demand for new submarine cable systems and higher-capacity fiber networks connecting continents.
