The region has been home to several prominent cable cuts in recent years. The massive economic impact of cable cuts makes protecting this critical infrastructure and ensuring diverse connectivity vital. 
  • How can international cooperation between governments and groups like the ICPC help protect cables?
  • How are operators ensuring adequate route diversity in case of multiple cuts?
  • With limited ships for repairs and the ongoing threat to ships in the Red Sea how can we repair systems quickly and safely?
