Subsea Cable Resilience and Geopolitical Network Redundancy

October 23, 2026 • By • 6 min read

Over 95% of international telecommunications and financial transaction data traverses physical subsea fiber-optic cables resting on the ocean floor. Recent seismic and geopolitical events have brought the vulnerability of these maritime routes to the forefront of enterprise risk management.
