The Nord Stream leaks serve as a warning that any one of the numerous gas, power and telecommunication cables crisscrossing Europe could be a target.
There are four primary ways that security experts think about minimizing risk, according to Kayyem, who describes the approach as"layered defenses."
It involves building more protective pipes that can withstand intrusion, controlling access to pipelines, monitoring them and intercepting potential attacks. Kayyem says the Nord Stream incident shows the importance of surveillance, and making sure countries know which boats and submarines are around the pipeline. These kinds of pipelines have lots of detection devices, she adds, which can help authorities figure out if the object nearby is a whale or an actual threat.
"It's a little bit like warfare, because you are protecting something that would be attacked in a war," she adds.
