Analysis, assessments, and intelligence briefings from our research team.
Undersea cable systems and internet exchange points represent a class of critical digital infrastructure that is simultaneously indispensable, geographically exposed, and structurally under-protected. This briefing examines the targeting interest emerging from state-adjacent actors and ideologically motivated networks, the vulnerability characteristics that make these nodes attractive, and the implications for protective security planners across EU and Five Eyes jurisdictions.
The Western Balkans remain a structurally underappreciated threat corridor for EU security planners. This briefing examines the persistent radicalisation drivers, the uneven integration of regional intelligence into EU frameworks, and the operational implications for analysts tracking jihadist and far-right mobilisation across the accession states.
As mainstream platforms harden their moderation postures, extremist communities are migrating toward a fragmented constellation of smaller, encrypted, and jurisdiction-resistant services. This briefing examines what that migration means for threat detection timelines, analytical coverage gaps, and the operational adjustments available to counter-terrorism intelligence teams.
Accelerationist far-right networks have shifted their operational focus toward critical national infrastructure, blending ideological incitement with actionable targeting guidance. This briefing examines the threat indicators, cross-jurisdictional patterns, and implications for protective security planners.
Crowded places and mass-gathering venues continue to attract disproportionate targeting interest across the ideological spectrum. This briefing examines the indicators, venue typologies, and protective security implications for planners operating in the current threat environment.
Lone-actor attackers continue to confound detection methodologies built around network disruption and communications intercept. This briefing examines the behavioural indicator landscape, the structural gaps in current assessment frameworks, and the operational adjustments available to analysts working against this threat profile.
