Technology sanctions, blacklists, bans: the US-China relationship is more tense than it has been in decades, and things are unlikely to improve with the return of Donald Trump. If a conflict were to arise, the undersea internet cables on the seabed would be a valuable target for sabotage and espionage – which are currently not adequately protected.
This is the conclusion of the American think tank CSIS (Center for Strategic & International Studies), which discusses the cyber security situation on the seabed in detail in a new report. In particular, it sheds light on why the valuable internet lifelines on the seabed risk becoming a target for Russian sabotage and a leverage point for China in a conflict between great powers. Krone+ explains why internet cables are so interesting for the superpowers, how they run and who protects them.
