Protected cables Washington is worried about Chinese attacks Somewhat too often in the United States they have started to talk about cyber security and the protection of digital infrastructure, as well as the facilities that ensure its operation. On the other hand, given alarming news about Chinese ships often located near submarine cables and allegedly preparing to sabotage them, this is not surprising. The Americans are strengthening military cyber defenses in Hawaii. Experts from Maryland were transferred there and a regional center was opened to monitor communication networks. Its mission is to more quickly identify disruptions that could disrupt the command and control of US forces in the Pacific. The new center will monitor not only cyber attacks, but also damage to submarine cables, problems in the radio frequency spectrum and service outages in the continental US. According to the Americans, the establishment of the center will increase the number of headquarters employees by about 20%. The main emphasis, apparently, is on submarine cables. They link and provide connectivity between the continental United States, Hawaii and Guam - a critical link during a potential conflict. And there are few alternative routes in these routes, so the issue is relevant for Americans. Washington is beefing up security amid accusations against Chinese hackers, including the Volt Typhoon group, that US agencies suspect of planning attacks on critical infrastructure. Beijing rejects these allegations, and the Americans have not directly linked the transfer of experts and the opening of the center to China. The problem is relevant because US forces and their allies exchange military information through 18 separate networks. In the US they want to unite partners with a common system, so they don't want to leave such an infrastructure without proper protection. Although a US-China conflict is still unlikely. - Your ticket to the Pacific Confusion Support us.
