Baltic & North Sea Under Pressure: What Simultaneous Cable Cuts Would Do to Europe’s ICT, Telecoms & Space- and How to Prepare
Europe’s connectivity hinges on a dense mesh of short Baltic/North Sea cables and a handful of deep-water trunks. Coordinated, deniable cuts at 3–6 points would spike latency into Frankfurt/London, push Nordic traffic onto narrower southern routes, and brown-out offshore and island backhaul. Layer concurrent GNSS jamming and satcom ground-segment attacks, and you have a classic hybrid play. This briefing translates that risk into clear operator actions you can take now.

Sustainability in Orbit: Dealing with Space Junk Before It Becomes Unmanageable
As tens of thousands of satellites flood into orbit, space is becoming dangerously congested. Space junk—defunct satellites, rocket stages, and debris—is a rising threat to telecoms, navigation, and climate monitoring systems. This blog explores the growing orbital debris crisis, and what “sustainability in space” really requires.
