It is obviously vital that we have sufficient security and surveillance with regard to these submarine cables. We all realise how important we are as an international technology hub. However, if we are talking about critical infrastructure across the board, has the State carried out a sufficient audit of our vulnerabilities? Have we determined the correct point Department to take responsibility in respect of these and ensured we have the necessary capacity? We are in a very different world with the Russian invasion of Ukraine. We have entered the period of asymmetrical and hybrid warfare and cyberattacks which can impact us all.
