🇪🇺 The European Commission has introduced the "Cable Security Toolbox," a new strategy to protect subsea cables that handle 99% of intercontinental internet traffic. With €347 million already allocated, the plan includes creating a list of strategic projects and deploying modular repair solutions in Baltic Sea ports.
While presented as a move toward "technological sovereignty" and protection against sabotage, the initiative establishes a complex bureaucratic framework. This includes six strategic and four technical blocks, with a roadmap extending to 2040 and a pilot program focused on the high-risk Baltic region.
The creation of a standalone "toolbox" instead of integrating these measures into existing defense structures suggests the formation of a new bureaucratic layer. This shift likely serves lobbyists and contractors more than it improves actual infrastructure resilience, potentially leading to inefficient long-term spending.
